\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Two variables have a $\"positive\"$ $\"+association+\"$ when the values of one variable tend to $\"increase\"$ as the values of the other variable $\"increase\"$ . \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Two variables have a $\"negative\"$ $\"+association\"$ when the values of one variable tend to $\"decrease\"$ as the values of the other variable $\"increase\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the number of times a pencil is sharpened $\"increase\"$ , its length will $\"decrease\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, answer is: a $\"negative\"$ $\"+association\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
