In the decathlon event at large track meets, male athletes compete in a total of 10 events. Their combined performance in each of the events is used to determine the winner. Two of the events are the 200-meter dash and the javelin throw. For 12 athletes at a large international competition, performances in these two events are recorded and placed in a scatterplot. The value of r for this scatterplot is 0.369.

A graph titled decathlon Events has 200-meter dash time (seconds) on the x-axis, and Javelin throw distance (meters) on the y-axis. Points are grouped loosely together in a line with positive slope.

Which of the following best describes the relationship between the variables in the scatterplot?

Those with lower 200-meter times tend to have longer javelin distances. The relationship is strong.
Those with higher 200-meter times tend to have longer javelin distances. The relationship is strong.
Those with lower 200-meter times tend to have longer javelin distances. The relationship is moderate.
Those with higher 200-meter times tend to have longer javelin distances. The relationship is moderate.

answer is D
