no association
B.
linear and non-linear association
C.
linear association
D.
non-linear association

Answer 1

C. linear association

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear association is when a scatterplot follows a line almost perfectly, also known as proportionally. In this case, it is called a LSRL (least squares regression line)

For this specific graph, we can draw a line down the middle of the points, and it will be perfect. Therefore, it is a linear association.
