Question

answer attempt 2 out of 3
the scatter plot shows association because as the plotted values of
x increase, the values of y generally

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the trend of the scatter - plot

In a scatter - plot, if as \(x\) increases, \(y\) generally increases, it is a positive association. If as \(x\) increases, \(y\) generally decreases, it is a negative association. If there is no clear pattern, it is no association.
Looking at the given scatter - plot, as the values of \(x\) increase, the values of \(y\) generally increase.

Answer:

The scatter plot shows a positive association because as the plotted values of \(x\) increase, the values of \(y\) generally increase.
