The answer is a postive non linear relationship. It basically means the amount increases, however, it doesn't follow a distinguished pattern. For example, 1 and 5 and 2 and 8 don't match up. The answer couldn't be negative, because the amount of money she is earning is increasing. So, it fits the scenerio you just describe to me. A relationship where the amount of money is increasing, but not in a pattern.

Answer: A positive nonlinear association

Explanation:

The given table :

Hours Worked 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Money Earned (dollars) 5 8 10 12 16 25 32 48 60 90

We can see that as the number of hours increasing the amount of money is increasing , so it indicates that there is a positive association.

Also, there is unequal change in equal interval of time , there it represents a positive nonlinear association.
