Question

#4 - 5 describe the type of association each scatter plot shows.
4.
5.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the trend of the scatter - plot

In a scatter - plot, if as \(x\) increases, \(y\) decreases, we have a negative association.
Looking at the given scatter - plot, when \(x = 1\), \(y\approx9\); when \(x = 2\), \(y = 7\); when \(x=4\), \(y = 6\); when \(x = 6\), \(y=5\); when \(x = 7\), \(y = 3\); when \(x=9\), \(y = 2\).

Answer:

The scatter - plot shows a negative association.
