Question

describe the association for the graph.
non - linear and negative
non - linear and positive
linear and negative
non - linear and no association
linear and positive

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the scatter - plot pattern

In a scatter - plot, if the points seem to follow a straight - line trend, it is linear. If not, it is non - linear. If as one variable increases, the other also increases, it is positive. If one increases and the other decreases, it is negative.
Looking at the scatter - plot (assuming a general upward trend without a curved pattern), we check for linearity and direction.

Step2: Determine linearity and direction

Since the points follow an upward (positive) trend and do not show a curved (non - linear) pattern, we classify the association.

Answer:

Linear and Positive
