a. a strong positive relationship
b. a weak positive relationship
c. a strong negative relationship
d. a weak negative relationship

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the scatterplot trend

The scatterplot shows that as the number of days in the Top Ten (x - axis) increases, the Viewership Score (y - axis) also generally increases. So the relationship is positive.

Step2: Determine the strength of the relationship

The points in the scatterplot do not lie extremely close to a straight line, but there is a clear upward trend. This indicates a strong positive relationship because the overall pattern of the points shows a consistent upward movement with a relatively tight clustering around the general trend line.

Answer:

A. A strong positive relationship
