Variables Reason

There can be a negative linear relationship

between poverty rate and the educational
Poverty Rate and High School Graduates
attainment. The higher poverty rate may
connote lower educational attainment.

Murder rate and poverty rate can have a

Murder Rate and Poverty Rate positive linear association. Both variables
increase together.

A positive linear association may exist

Living in Metropolitan Areas and High between population living metropolitan areas
School Graduates and pollution. Those living in the metropolitan
areas may have higher educational attainment.
