Practice Question

The table represents the men's winning track times at each distance at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Based on this information. which of the following statements best describes the relationship between run distance and winning time?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

On a graph, the slope of the line segment between any two points would be positive.

Rationale:

📚 The table shows that as the distance increases, the winning time also increases, indicating a direct relationship.

📚 The distance is the independent variable (you choose it), and the winning time depends on the distance, so the statement that distance is dependent is incorrect.

📚 An inverse relationship means one variable increases while the other decreases, which is not the case here.

📚 A negative covariance would indicate that the variables move in opposite directions, but here they move together, so covariance is positive.

📚 Therefore, between any two points plotted on a graph, the slope (change in time/change in distance) is positive.
