Question

1 the scatter plot shows the age and sale price of fifteen used motorcycles. used motorcycle sales 12,000 11,000 10,000 9,000 8,000 7,000 6,000 5,000 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 age of motorcycle (years) describe the association shown in the scatter plot. select from the drop - down menus to correctly complete the sentence. the scatter plot shows: association between the age of a motorcycle and the sale price of the motorcycle because as the age of a motorcycle increases, the sale price of the motorcycle a negative a positive

Explanation:

Step1: Analizar la dirección de la asociación

Observar el diagrama de dispersión: a medida que la edad de la motocicleta (eje x) aumenta, el precio de venta (eje y) disminuye. Esto indica una asociación negativa.

Step2: Determinar el tipo de asociación

La tendencia general de los puntos es decrecer a medida que x aumenta, lo que corresponde a una asociación negativa. También, la relación parece tener un patrón relativamente claro (no es aleatorio), por lo que es una asociación lineal negativa (o simplemente negativa, dependiendo del nivel). Pero para el menú desplegable, la opción correcta para la dirección es "a negative" y la asociación es "linear" (o "strong" o "moderate", pero en el contexto, la clave es la dirección negativa).

Answer:

The scatter plot shows a negative association between the age of a motorcycle and the sale price of the motorcycle because as the age of a motorcycle increases, the sale price of the motorcycle decreases. So the first dropdown (for the type of association, likely "a negative" and the second part about the direction, but from the options, the correct choice for the association type (the first blank, if it's about strength, maybe "a negative" and the second dropdown (the one with negative/positive) is "a negative". Wait, the problem's dropdowns: the first blank (maybe "a linear" or "a negative" but the options given are "a negative" and "a positive". Wait, the sentence structure: "The scatter plot shows [blank] association... because as the age... the sale price...". So the first blank (the type of association's direction) is "a negative" (since as x increases, y decreases). So the correct options: the first dropdown (the one with the hand) would be "a negative" (if that's the option) and the second part (the dropdown with negative/positive) is "a negative". Wait, the user's image shows the dropdowns: one with "a negative" and "a positive" (the lower dropdown) and the upper dropdown (with the hand) maybe about the strength (like "a linear" or "a strong", but in the problem, the key is the direction. So the correct answer for the association type (the part to complete) is that it's a negative association (because as age increases, price decreases). So the correct options: the first blank (the upper dropdown, if it's about the type, maybe "a negative") and the lower dropdown (the one with negative/positive) is "a negative". But based on the problem, the main thing is that the association is negative. So the answer is that the scatter plot shows a negative association (because as age increases, sale price decreases), so the correct choice for the dropdown (the one with negative/positive) is "a negative".
