Question

describe the correlation in the scatter plot below. 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 scatter - plot trend

In a scatter - plot, if as \(x\) (the independent variable) increases, \(y\) (the dependent variable) has no clear pattern (upward or downward), it is a no - correlation. Here, the points are scattered randomly. There is no consistent increase or decrease of \(y\) as \(x\) increases.

Answer:

The scatter plot shows no correlation because as the plotted values of \(x\) increase, the values of \(y\) generally have no consistent pattern.
