Suppose you were to create a scatter plot of outside temperature and amount of heating bill. Would you expect to see a positive, negative, or no relationship between the two variables. Explain your answer.

When you create a scatter plot of outside temperature and amount of heating bill you expect as negative relationship between the two variables because when the temperature outside is very low then you increase the heater the would increase the heating bill.

Answer:

I would expect to see a negative relationship between the two variables

Step-by-step explanation:

One would expect that the amount of heating bill decreases as the outside temperature increases, because one would use less the heating. Then the two variables would have an inverse or negative relationship between them.

As the outside temperature is the independent variable it should be in the x-axis and the amount of heating bill in the y-axis, because is the dependent variable. So the scatter plot would be like the one shown.
