Question

there is a positive linear correlation. there is a negative linear correlation. there is no positive or negative correlation. there is a nonlinear correlation. mark this and return save and exit

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze positive linear correlation

Positive linear correlation means points follow an upward - sloping straight - line trend. Here, the points do not form such a clear upward - sloping straight line.

Step2: Analyze negative linear correlation

Negative linear correlation means points follow a downward - sloping straight - line trend. The points do not form a clear downward - sloping straight line.

Step3: Analyze no correlation

If there were no correlation, points would be completely random. But here, there is some pattern (not linear).

Step4: Analyze nonlinear correlation

The points seem to follow a non - straight - line (nonlinear) pattern.

Answer:

There is a nonlinear correlation.
