Question

what is indicated by a strong clustering of points around a line in a scatter plot?
a. weak association
b. inconsistent data
c. no association
d. strong association

Explanation:

In a scatter plot, a strong clustering of points around a line indicates a strong association between the two variables. A weak association would have points more spread out, no association would have points randomly scattered with no pattern, and inconsistent data is not directly related to the clustering around a line in terms of association strength.

Answer:

d. Strong association
