Answer 1

I think its A perfect negative association

perfect because it is in a straight order and negative because its slope is negative

Answer 2

Option: A is the correct answer.

A. Perfect negative association.

Explanation:

A perfect association in a scatter plot is one in which we get a line of best fit such that all the points could lie on that line or we can say that the points have a linear association.

Also a negative association is one in which there is a increase in one variable while decrease in the other.

So, here in the scatter plot we could clearly observe that with the increase in the Variable X the other variable i.e. Variable Y is decreasing.

Hence, Option: A is the correct answer.

A. perfect negative association
