Answer 2

Correlations are used to determine the association between the variables of a regression equation.

Latasha's claim is correct, because there is no correlation between x and y.

From the table, we can see that:

As the values of x increases, the value of y is either 4 or 5; i.e. the value of y increases to 5, and then decreases to 4

This means that, the values of x do not correlate with the values of y.

In other words, there is no correlation between x and y.

Hence, Latasha's claim is correct
