The scatter plot shows the test scores of a group of students who played video games for different amounts of time in a day.

A graph shows Hours Playing Video Games on x axis and Test Score on y axis. The graph is shown with scale along x axis from 0 to 10 at increments of 1 and scale along y axis from 0 to 100 at increments of 10. The ordered pairs 0, 90 and 0.2, 100 and 1,89 and 1.2,82 and 1.4, 86 and 1.6,95 and 1.8,98 and 2.5, 90 and 3.8, 82 and 4.1, 68 and 4.2, 75 and 5.6,58 and 6,72 and 6.8,58 and 7.1,69 and 7.5,45 and 8,55 and 8.9,42 and 9.8,30 are shown on the graph.

What will most likely happen to the test scores of students if the number of hours they play video games increases?

Test scores will increase because the graph shows a positive association.
Test scores will increase because the graph shows a negative association.
Test scores will decrease because the graph shows a positive association.
Test scores will decrease because the graph shows a negative association.

Test scores will decrease because the graph shows a negative association. is the correct answer.( I was making a graph of the points to confirm the answer, it shows a very distinct negative association.)
