Question

answer attempt 1 out of 2
the scatter plot shows correlation because as the plotted values of x increase, the values of y generally.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the trend

As \(x\) increases from \(0\) to \(9\), \(y\) values go from \(2\) to \(10\). Looking at the pairs \((0,2)\), \((1,2)\), \((2,3)\), \((3,4)\), \((5,6)\), \((7,9)\), \((8,9)\), \((9,10)\), we can see that as \(x\) gets larger, \(y\) also has a tendency to get larger.

Answer:

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