Question

what term describes the relationship between two variables where the data points form a straight line?
a. linear association
b. independent association
c. curved association
d. nonlinear association

Explanation:

A linear association means data points form a straight - line pattern. An independent association implies no relationship. A curved association has a non - straight (curved) pattern. A nonlinear association is any non - straight relationship (including curved). Since the question specifies a straight - line pattern, linear association is correct.

Answer:

A. Linear association
