Answer:

B) a negative linear association

Explanation:

Before answer this question.

Let me explain the types of correlation.

There are three types of correlation: positive, negative, and no correlation.

Positive Correlation: As one variable increases, the dependent variable also increases.

Negative Correlation: As one variable increases, the dependent variable decreases.

No Correlation: There is no apparent relationship between the variables.

In the given scatter plot, As the value of the variable A increases, the value of variable B decreases.

Therefore, it is a negative linear association.

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you.

Answer:

Variable A and variable B have a negative linear association.

Explanation:

We are asked to find which best describes the association between variable A and variable B.

From the scatter plot we could clearly see that as the value of variable A are increasing the corresponding value of variable B is decreasing.

Also we could see that the points are linear.

Hence, the relationship that best describes variable A and variable B is:

Negative linear Association
