Question

describing the association
which best describes the association of this scatterplot?
linear, weak
linear, strong
nonlinear, weak
nonlinear, strong

Explanation:

A linear association in a scatter - plot means that the points tend to follow a straight - line pattern. A weak association means that the points are more spread out around an imaginary line of best fit. Looking at the scatter - plot, the points do not form a tight cluster (so it's weak) and they seem to follow a general linear (straight - line) trend.

Answer:

linear, weak
