Question

Describe the association in the scatter plot below.----------------The scatter plot shows (positive linear, positive linear with one outlier, negative linear, negative linear with one outlier, nonlinear, or no) association because as the plotted values of x increase, the values of y generally (decrease, increase, show no pattern or follow a nonlinear pattern).

Answer 1

From the given figure

The given point can form a line with a negative slope, because when

the values of x increase the values of y decrease

Then the scatter plot shows a negative linear association because

as the values of x increase, the values of y generally decrease
