Question

which direction indicates a positive association on a scatter plot?
a. horizontal
b. downward
c. upward
d. vertical

Explanation:

A positive association in a scatter plot means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases. This is represented by an upward - sloping pattern. A horizontal pattern (a) indicates no association. A downward pattern (b) indicates a negative association. A vertical pattern (d) is not a typical pattern for a valid association in a scatter plot as it would imply multiple y - values for a single x - value in a non - functional way.

Answer:

C. Upward
