Question

What is the best description of the relationship in the scatterplot below?A graph has an x-axis which ranges from 0 to 10, in increments of 1, and a y-axis, which ranges from 0 to 30 in increments of 5. Approximately 2 dozen points are scattered sporadically between x = 3 and x = 7 and between y = 12 and y = 28.

Explanations

What is correlation?

Correlation is the description of the relationship between two variables on a xy-plane. Correlation is important to determine the nature of a large body of data.

The closer the data points come when plotted to make a straight line, the stronger the correlation between the two variables in question. The type of correlation that we have include;

• Positive correlation

,

• Negative correlation

,

• Non-linear association

,

• No correlation

According to the question, we are to describe the relationship in the scatterplot below. From the graph, we can see that as one variable moves away, another moves in an entirely different direction showing that the distributed points have no pattern. This shows that there is zero or no correlation between the x and y variables.

Hence we can conclude that the best description of the relationship in the scatterplot below is No association
