Question

Which scatterplots have a nonlinear association? Check all that apply.

a. Linear

b. Quadratic

c. Exponential

d. Cubic

Answer 1

The scatterplots that have a nonlinear association are b) quadratic, c) exponential, and d) cubic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scatterplots that have a nonlinear association are:

• Quadratic
• Exponential
• Cubic

These three types of scatterplots show a curvilinear relationship between the variables, indicating a nonlinear association. In a quadratic scatterplot, the points form a curve that can be represented by a quadratic equation.

In an exponential scatterplot, the points form a curve that increases or decreases exponentially. In a cubic scatterplot, the points form a curve that can be represented by a cubic equation.
