( positive,negative,no)

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the scatter plot trend

Looking at the scatter plot, as the average low temperature (x - axis) increases, the average high temperature (y - axis) also increases. So for the first blank, when average low is higher, average high is higher.

Step2: Determine the type of correlation

Since both variables (average low and average high temperatures) increase together, the correlation is positive. A positive correlation means that as one variable increases, the other variable also tends to increase.

Answer:

First blank: higher; Second blank: positive
