Question

Which of the following scatterplots do not show a clear relationship and would not have a trend line?

a) A scatterplot with a positive linear correlation
b) A scatterplot with a negative linear correlation
c) A scatterplot with points randomly distributed
d) A scatterplot with points forming a curve

Answer 1

A scatterplot that does not show a clear relationship and would not have a trend line is the one with points randomly distributed.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scatterplot that does not show a clear relationship and would not have a trend line is the one with points randomly distributed. This is represented by option c. In a scatterplot with points randomly distributed, there is no apparent pattern or direction of the relationship between the variables being plotted. It is difficult to draw a trend line or determine any correlation between the variables based on this scatterplot.
