Re: In Country X, a building is in Category A if it has a roof height of a [#permalink]
Here's another way to think about the second part of this question:

Take an example of a building with any roof height, let’s say 400 metres.

If the number of floors (black dot) is let’s say 80, then the mean height per floor (red dot) will be simply 400 divided by 80 = 5 metres.

If the number of floors (black dot) is let’s say 50, then the mean height per floor (red dot) will be simply 400 divided by 50 = 8 metres.

So it’s quite clear that there is a very sharp and clear inverse relationship between the black dos and the red dots, i.e., a strong negative correlation.

To answer the first blank: The building with the greatest mean height per floor is represented by the uppermost black square on the graph. The horizontal coordinate of this square indicates that the roof height of the building is between 350 and 370 meters.

To answer the second blank: Now, this is relatively hard to answer. But we know what average is. It's the height of the net building divided by total number of floors. Isn't it? From the formula itself, we can determine that there is a negative correlation between number of floors and height of the building.

Re: In Country X, a building is in Category A if it has a roof height of a [#permalink]
We can see there is a positive correlation between the number of floors and height of the building’s roof, and there is a negative correlation between height of the building’s roof and the mean height per floor. Can I say it's a negative relationship between the number of floors and the mean height per floor?

In Country X, a building is in Category A if it has a roof height of at least 350 meters. In the graph, each of the 22 Category A building is represented by two points arranged vertically: one representing the comparison of the height of the building’s roof to the number of floors (red circles), the other representing the comparison of the height of the building’s roof to the mean height per floor (black squares).

Based on the information, use the drop-down menus to most accurately complete the following statements about Category A buildings in Country X.

The building with the greatest mean height per floor has a roof height between [Dropdown Placeholder #1] meters.

There is a [Dropdown Placeholder #2] correlation between the number of floors and the mean height per floor.

­Hi Sajjad, this dosent seem like 700 level question. I think the classification for DI questions are a bit off on the forum. Recently, I have a DI OG test struggled quite a bit, the questions were quite challenging compared to the forum
