the data shows a positive linear association between the number of hours worked and tips earned. (option A)

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the statement that best fit the scatter plot, we study the trend:

As the time worked in hours increased, the tips earned increased.

A positive linear association shows increase in the y axis as the x axis increases

A negative linear association shows a decrease in y axis as the x axis increases

From the above, we see the x increases ( time worked in hours) as y increases ( tips earned)

Hence, the data shows a positive linear association between the number of hours worked and tips earned.
