Question

The graph shows the number of sunspots and the measurement of a variable that estimates the average global temperature (“the temperature proxy”). Which of the following statements *best* describes the correlation between these 2 measurements?

Accepted Answer

Sunspots were negatively correlated with temperature between 8,000 and 6,000 years ago and were positively correlated with temperature from about 2,000 years ago to the present.

Answer

Sunspots were not correlated with temperature between 8,000 and 6,000 years ago and were negatively correlated with temperature from about 2,000 years ago to the present.
