The graph represents the results of a survey taken by focus groups each shown a different version of an upcoming commercial for a sports car. Each version had a different amount of content showing the car in fast-driving scenes. After the group viewed the commercial, each member was asked two questions: "Did you feel that the car was sporty?" and "How likely are you to purchase this car?" The position of the circles on the left indicate how much fast-driving content (F) was in the version of the commercial show and the % of viewers who found the car to be 'sporty' (S). The relative size of the circles indicates how likely the members of the group were to purchase the car (L). The bigger the circle, the more likely they were to purchase.
Use the drop-down menus to fill in the blanks in each of the following statements based on the information given by the graph.
1. If the relationship between L and S were inversed, then the greatest effect on the graph would be to the of the circles.
2. If the relationship between L and S were inversed, then the greatest effect on the graph would be to the .
Can anyone please elaborate the solution of this question. I am not able to figure out the solution to get the answers mentioned above. Thank you!
Explanation
Take a few steps to answer this question
See the diagram with full attention
Read the text and make connection of the text with the diagram
Answer the questions
By reading the text and seeing the diagram we are easily able to understand that
As the fast driving content (F) increases the % of people who think car was sporty (S) also increases.
As the fast driving content (F) and the % of people who think car was sporty (S) increases the number of people who said they will purchase the car (L) also increases.
Now attempt the questions
1. If the relationship between L and S were reversed, then the greatest effect on the graph would be to the__________of the circles.
With the reference of the fact above we can say that when the relationship between L and S reversed the bubbles A, B, C and D will be changed. Few people will purchase the car when the % of people who think car was sporty (S) increases and hence the biggest bubble will become the smallest bubble and the vice versa.
Answer: Size
2. If the relationship between L and S were reversed, then the greatest effect on the graph would be to the_________
When the relationship between L and S reversed the size of the bubble will also be reversed and the largest bubble will become the smallest and the smallest will become the largest. So the size of A will become the largest.
Answer: Circle A
3. If the relationship between L and S were inversed, then were would be a__________correlation between F and L.
With the current situation the relationship is positive, when S increases L also increases so when the relationship reversed and when increase in the value of S decrease the value of L then this relationship will become negative.
Answer: Negative
4. If the relationship between L and S were inversed, then were would be a__________correlation between S and L.
The answer and reasoning is same as the question number 3 above.
Answer: Negative
5. If the relationship between L and S were inversed, then were would be a__________correlation between F and S.
The current relation is when F increases S also increases, if the relationship reversed then the decrease in the value of F also decreases the value of S. So the relationship will remain positive and will just change the direction of the relationship from + + to - - .
1) A, Since the relationship between L & S determines the size of the circle 2) A,Greatest effect would be on A 3) Negative,If the relationship is inversed then with every increase of F , L will decrease,since size will decrease 4) Negative,If the relationship is inversed then with every increase of L , S will decrease,since size will decrease 5) Positive, since when L will increase S will decrease & F will decrease ,so there is a positive correlation between S&F
This question makes absolutely no sense to me... It is not enough to say "If the relationship between L and S were inversed, ...". We don't have enough information to claim any of those items, because we dont know what will be preserved after this change, and how is this change made. For instance, initially we could have something like L = 0.5(S+F). After the "inversion", what is expected? L = k (1/S)+F ? I don't know. If that were the case, what would be the constrain in order to k be determined (so that it would be possible to say for instance what is the greatest effect on the graph)? Also, how this "inversion" happen? L = k*1/(S+F) also makes L inversaly proportional to S, but takes F with it.
2. If the relationship between L and S were reversed, then the greatest effect on the graph would be to the_________
When the relationship between L and S reversed the size of the bubble will also be reversed and the largest bubble will become the smallest and the smallest will become the largest. So the size of A will become the largest.
PS: The OA, in my point of view, is misleading, when the relationship between the L and S reversed then the greatest effect would be on both A and D, A will become equals D and D will become equal to A.
In terms of increase,
the greatest effect will be on Circle A (smallest) turning into the (largest), consequent to 'the relationship between L and S getting reversed' due to LOW base effect associated with Circle A. (vis-a-vis that of Circle D -- with a HIGH base effect)

Sajjad1994 I am a bit confused about choosing between A and D in the second question. If we think A becomes the largest, then D is also becoming the smallest one, right? After all, we are not given any condition in the question of whether the change in the graph will increase or decrease the size of which circle.

the greatest effect on the graph would be to the smallest one. this is a typical case of percent change take eg: A=20 D=80 changes to A=80 (300% increase/change) and D=20 (75% decrease/change)
