identify and explain the relationship between the variables from the graph.
average years of education vs salary
average salary ($)
average years of education

Explanation:

• Positive or negative: The graph shows a positive trend. As the average years of education increase, the average salary also increases.
• Linear or non - linear: The trend appears to be linear. The points generally follow a straight - line pattern (the orange line).
• Outliers: There are outliers. For example, at 14 years of education, there is a point with a very low salary (around $18000$) compared to the general trend, and at 20 years of education, there is a point with a salary of about $80000$ which is above the linear trend line.
• What the graph tells: It tells that, on average, more years of education are associated with higher salaries. However, there is variability. Some people with a certain number of years of education may earn more or less than the general trend.

Answer:

• Positive trend.
• Linear trend.
• Outliers (e.g., at 14 years: ~$18000$, at 20 years: ~$80000$).
• More education generally linked to higher salary with variability.
