Question

Select each correct answer.


no association

negative association

nonlinear association

positive association

linear association

Answer 1

Negative and Linear

Answer 2

The statement that correctly describes the association between the variables A and B is:

Negative association.

Linear association.

Explanation:

Clearly from the scatter plot we could see that with the increase in the value of variable A the second variable i.e. variable B is decreasing.

Hence, the association is negative association.

Also when we will draw the trend line we see that we get a parabolic path such that it best describes the point.

Hence, the association is non-linear.
