MHB Determining Positive Correlation from Table

Click For Summary
To determine positive correlation from a table, one can analyze the joint and marginal distributions to observe how changes in one variable relate to changes in another. Positive correlation indicates that as one variable increases, the other tends to increase as well. While computing correlation coefficients directly provides a clear answer, examining the table allows for a visual understanding of the relationship between variables. Key indicators of positive correlation include higher joint probabilities for higher values of both variables. Understanding these relationships through the table can enhance insights into the data without relying solely on computation.

i was given a table for calculating joint and marginal distribution. then i was asked if the variables are positively correlated or not.

i know what positive correlation is, but how do i determine that from a table?
