The type of correlation shown on the scatterplot is (2) negative correlation

How to determine the type of correlation shown on the scatterplot

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The image of the scatter plot

On the scatter plot, we can see that

The points appear to be on a straight line

Also, we can see that

As the x values increases the y values decreases

This represents a negative linear association.

This in other words means a negative correlation

Hence, the type of correlation shown on the scatterplot is (2) negative correlation
