Suppose that two variables, X and Y, are negatively associated. Does this mean that above-average values of X will always be associated with below-average values of Y? Explain. Choose the correct

answer below. C O A. Yes, because if one or more above-average values of X are associated with above-average values of Y, the variables cannot be negatively associated. OB. No, because when two variables, X and Y, are negatively associated, above-average values of X are associated with above-average values of Y. O C. No, because association does not mean that every point fits the trend. The negative association only means that above-average values of X are generally associated with below-average values of Y. O D. No, because there will always be at least one point that does not fit the trend.
