A research firm wants to hire you to help them examine the impact of different kinds of conflict communication behavior on relationship satisfaction in romantic couples. The firm thinks it has identified two really important behaviors during conflict that help explain how satisfied couples are in their relationship: how often someone places blame or criticizes their partner and how often someone offers compromise or solutions during conflict.

You realize right away that you know how to help them come up with answers using linear regression!

Using the scatterplots and the results of your tests, give the research firm a brief conclusion about what you found, and explain what is going on visually. Address each scatterplot separately.
