The true statement that is true with regards to the number of popsicles sold at the pool and the temperature is the option C.
C. There is a positive, linear association between the temperature and the number of popsicles sold
The steps used to find the association between the temperature and the number of popsicles sold can be presented as follows;
Please find attached the scatterplot of the data in the table created with MS Excel
The least squares equation for the line of best fit and the square of the correlation coefficient, obtained by inserting the chart elements using the Chart Design, Add Chart Element functions in MS Excel in the attached chart indicates that the least squares linear equation is; y = 1.2714·x - 71.782, and the square of the correlation coefficient is; R² = 0.8033, which indicates that there is a strong positive linear association between the temperature and the number of popsicles sold. The correct option therefore is option C. There is a positive, linear association between the temperature and the number of popsicles sold
