A certain middle school opens at 7 A.M., and classes begin at 8 A.MA sociologist gathered data on the number of minutes after 7 A.M. that a student amivas at school and the number of friends the student has on social meda. The correlation between the two variables indicated a strong negative relationship. Which of the following is an appropriate interpretation of the correlation?

A Students who arrive early to school have more friends on secial media
в Students who arrive late to school have more friends on social media
C Having a lot of friends on social media causes a student to arrive late for school As the fumber of minutes of ariving after 7 A.M. increases, the number of friends on social media tends to increase
D As the number of minutes of amiving after 7 A.M. inereases, the number of friends on social media tends to decreas

A negative correlation refers to an inverse association among two variables – now, whenever one variable reduces, then the other increases. The vice versa is a negative correlation too, in which one of the variable increases and the other decreases.

So option A and E are correct options.

A) students who arrive early to school more friends on social media.

E) as the number of minutes of arriving after 7A.M. increases, the number of friends on social media tends to decrease.

The following is an appropriate interpretation of the correlation between two variables which indicated a strong negative relationship is в Students who arrive late to school have more friends on social media

Negative correlation is a situation where there is an uneven distribution between two variables where one variable grows, as the other one reduces.

Based on the given question, students that come after 7 a.m are late comers and they have more friends on social media. This is an example of a strong negative correlation.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B
