A scatter plot shows a positive trend(positive correlation) when the values of y increase in line with the values of x. Here, the points form a line that slants up from the left to the right.

A scatter plot shows a negative trend(negative correlation) when the values of y decreases as the values of x increases. Hee, the points form a line that slants down from the left to the right.

A scatter plot shows no trend(no correlation) when the points are scattered randomly. Here, no line is formed.

From the scatter plot given, we can see the points are scattered randomly and no line is formed by the points.

Since the points are scattered around randomly, we can say the scatter plot shows no trend.

ANSWER:

None
