Question

What type of association does the graph show between x and y

Answer 1

D- Nonlinear negative association.

Explanation:

There isn't a common slope and it's going down.

Answer 2

The type of association between x and y is:

Nonlinear negative association.

Explanation:

Negative association--

Two variables x and y are said to have a negative association if with the increase of one variable the other variable decreases and vice-versa.

Linear Association--

A scatter plot is said to have a linear association if the points plotted on the graph lie along a line i.e. we get a trend line as a line.

Here after looking at the scatter plot we observe that with the increase in the value of x the y-value is decreasing i.e. the two variables have a negative association.

Also, the points on the plot do not lie along a line.

Hence, the association is:

Nonlinear negative association.
