Question

which sentence describes the relationship shown on this scatter plot? no correlation; as the temperature increases, the number of visitors increases.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Scatter Plot Trend

Observe the scatter plot: as the x - variable (temperature, from the x - axis label "Average Daily Temperature") increases, the y - variable (number of visitors, from the context) data points generally move upwards. This indicates a positive correlation.

Step2: Evaluate Options

• "No correlation" would mean the points are randomly scattered with no upward/downward trend. But the plot shows an upward trend.
• "As the temperature increases, the number of visitors increases" matches the upward trend of the scatter plot.

Answer:

As the temperature increases, the number of visitors increases.
