Question

the scatterplot illustrates the relationship between two quantitative variables: number of seeds planted and the crop yield per square foot. the relationship in the scatterplot is weak and nonlinear. strong and positive. weak and negative. strong and nonlinear. number of seeds and crop yield yield (lb per sq ft) seeds (per sq. ft.)

Explanation:

• Strength: The points are not tightly clustered around a line or curve, so the relationship is not strong.
• Direction: As the number of seeds (x - axis) increases, the yield (y - axis) first increases and then decreases, which is a nonlinear relationship.

Answer:

weak and nonlinear.
