An instructor reports that as the number of student interruptions during class decreases, student scores on in-class quizzes increase. Is this an example of a positive correlation or a negative correlation?

Negative correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

In a negative correlation, as one variable increases, the other variable decreases, and as one variable decreases, the other variable increases. In positive correlation, as one variable increases, so does the other and as one variable decreases, so does the other.

In the given question, as the number of student interruptions during class decreases, student scores on in-class quizzes increase. So, this an example of a negative correlation.

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
