Explanation / Answer

In Figure 1 (Heller et al (2015)), the relationship of fat mass and serum Vitamin D level for both the female and male athletes are shown. What can you conclude from this graph?

Ans: D. Both A and B

(The relationship is stronger because the data is not as spreaded out in case of males, when compared to females)

How would you describe the shape of the relationship between fat mass and serum Vitamin D level

Ans: Moderate, negative relationship

Moderate because the data is spreaded out to some extend and negative because as one variable increases, the other decreases.
