A regional transportation agency studied how employed residents of Alder District traveled to work. For each of six selected years, the graph shows the percentage of all weekday commutes to work made by bicycle, public transit, car, and walking. Every commute is classified under exactly one of these four modes.
Select from each drop-down menu the option that completes the statement most accurately based on the information provided.
The information in the graph the statement that the numbers of weekday bicycle commutes and weekday public-transit commutes were negatively correlated.
During the interval , the rate of decline in the percentage of commutes made by car was greater than the rate of decline in the percentage made by public transit.

Every commute is classified under exactly one of these four modes.

The information in the graph the statement that the numbers of weekday bicycle commutes and weekday public-transit commutes were negatively correlated.
During the interval , the rate of decline in the percentage of commutes made by car was greater than the rate of decline in the percentage made by public transit.
Official Solution:
Drop-down 1:
The graph shows the percentages of weekday commutes made by each mode, not the total number of weekday commutes in each year.
The bicycle percentage rises over the years shown while the public-transit percentage falls, so the two percentages are negatively correlated.
However, the actual numbers of bicycle and public-transit commutes also depend on the total number of weekday commutes in each year. Since those totals are not provided, the graph does not tell us whether the numbers of bicycle and public-transit commutes were negatively correlated.
Therefore, the correct selection is neither directly affirms nor directly contradicts.
Drop-down 2:
The three answer choices cover intervals of equal length, so we can compare the steepness of the two lines over each interval.
From 2014 to 2018, the car line falls sharply, while the public-transit line falls only slightly. Thus, the car percentage declines at a clearly greater rate during this interval.
Over the other two intervals, the public-transit line falls more steeply than the car line.
Therefore, the correct selection is 2014–2018.
Correct answer:
Drop-down 1: "neither directly affirms nor directly contradicts"
Drop-down 2: "2014–2018"

Percentages can never determine the correlation between numbers so the answer would be neither.
And, from the graph it can be seen that the slope for 2014-18 period is greater for car than public transit.
