Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that a negative correlation between two variables means that as one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease.
Look at each table and observe the pattern between the values of X and Y. For example, check if Y decreases when X increases.
For the first table: X = 1, 2, 3, 4 and Y = 8, 6, 4, 2, notice that as X increases, Y decreases, which suggests a negative correlation.
For the other tables, check if Y remains constant, increases, or fluctuates without a clear decreasing trend as X increases, which would indicate no negative correlation.
Conclude that the table where Y decreases consistently as X increases shows a negative correlation.
