Question: What kind of trend does the statement describe? "As the number of workers increases, the number of days required to complete a work decreases (assume each person works at the same rate)."
A ) No trend B ) Negative trend C ) Positive trend
Steps to derive
1 As the number of workers increases, the number of days required to complete the work decreases. This is true since each person is working at the same rate.
2 As one set of data increases, the other set of data tends to decrease. So, the statement describes a negative trend.
