- For each of the following scenarios, indicate whether the relationship between the two variables is positive or negative, as well as which line on the previous graph has a slope that reflects this type of relationship. Hint: The X-axis and Y-axis on the graph are not labeled intentionally. You need to substitute the variables from each scenario for the horizontal and vertical axis. For example, in the first scenario, X-axis should be labeled “ ice-cream" and Y-axis should be labeled "The temperature". Relationship options: positive, negative Line options: A, B, C, D True or False: Line D has a slope of infinity.arrow_forwardSalop circle spatial model Imagine a circular city with a circumference of 50 miles.

Suppose the UNGA is voting on the amount of aid to send to a country following a natural disaster (e.g., the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami; the 2010 Haiti earthquake). This amount can be plotted along a single dimension, which, for simplicity, we will allow to range between 0 and 1: For simplicity, assume there are only seven countries in the UNGA: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Each country has an ideal point, indicated in the parentheses below each country’s letter (i.e., A’s ideal point is at .05, E’s ideal point is at .75, etc.). Assume the countries have single-peaked preferences (i.e., countries want policy to be as close as possible to their ideal points) and that the voting rule is simple majority (i.e., each country gets one vote, and the policy supported by a majority wins).

- The variable shown on the vertical axis is _________ . The units for the variable on the horizontal axis are __________ . There are two ways to view the information presented on the graph. First, the graph tells us the amount a person with a certain income is likely to spend on a car, and second, it tells us the probable income of a person who spent a certain amount on a car. For example, if an individual earned $40,000 last year and purchased a new car, you would expect that person to have paid about _________ for the car. Similarly, if someone just paid $25,000 for a car, you could use this graph to estimate that this person's income was probably around __________ .arrow_forwardI'm not sure how to graph this and I'm not sure if I am answering the questions correctlyarrow_forwardYou are given the following dataset from a sample of the population.
