Answer 1

A scatter plot shows the association between two variables.

If the variables tend to increase and decrease together, the association is positive. If one variable tends to increase as the other decreases, the association is negative. If there is no pattern, the association is zero.

From the graph we notice that in this case both variables increcase together, therefore the scatter plot has a positive association.
