Answer:

No correlation.

Explanation:

A Scatter (XY) Plot has points that show the relationship between two variables.

Scatter plots use a collection of points placed using Cartesian coordinates to show values of two variables. By showing a variable on each axis, it can be detected if there is a relationship or correlation between the two variables.

Several types of correlation can be interpreted through the patterns shown in the scatter diagrams. These are: positive (values increase together), negative (one value decreases as the other increases), null (no correlation).

In the case presented, it can be clearly seen that the variables have no correlation, because the trend is not that the points form a straight line, but that there is too much dispersion.

So, the answer is:

No correlation.

Hope this helps!
