Question

describe the association shown in the scatter plot.
the scatter plot shows a
no association between
driver age and max
distance to read sign
because the age of the
driver increases and the
max distance to read sign
show no association
the scatter plot shows a
positive nonlinear
association between
driver age and max
distance to read sign
because as the age of the
driver increases, the max
distance to read sign
increases
the scatter plot shows a
negative nonlinear
association between
driver age and max
distance to read sign
because as the age of the
driver increases, the max
distance to read sign
decreases.
the scatter plot shows a
positive linear association
between driver age and
max distance to read sign
because as the age of the
driver increases, the max
distance to read sign
increases
the scatter plot shows a
negative linear
association between
driver age and max
distance to read sign
because as the age of the
driver increases, the max
distance to read sign
decreases

Explanation:

En un diagrama de dispersión, una asociación negativa significa que a medida que una variable aumenta, la otra disminuye. Una asociación lineal se asemeja a una línea recta. Observando el diagrama, a medida que la edad del conductor (variable \(x\)) aumenta, la distancia máxima para leer un letrero (variable \(y\)) disminuye y la relación se asemeja a una línea recta.

Answer:

La opción correcta es la quinta (azul): "The scatter plot shows a negative linear association between driver age and max distance to read sign because as the age of the driver increases, the max distance to read sign decreases".
