Answer:

C) There is a positive linear association between the math and science scores, with one of the data points being an outlier.

Explanation:

Correlation measures how closely two variables are linked.

If two variables are correlated, you can draw a line of best fit on the scatter plot.

From inspection of the given scatter plot:

  • The explanatory (independent) variable is the Math Score and is drawn along the x-axis.
  • The response (dependent) variable is Science Score and is drawn along the y-axis.

All data points (with the exception of one) are very close to being in a straight line with a positive slope. This is called a positive linear correlation.

As the one data point is far from the general pattern of the other points, it is an outlier.

Conclusion

There is a positive linear association between the math and science scores, with one of the data points being an outlier.
