Question

1. the graph at right compares the gas mileage to the weight of numerous vehicles. describe the association between these two quantities. hint: as the weight ______ the ...

Explanation:

To describe the association, we analyze the scatter plot. As vehicle weight (x - axis) increases, miles per gallon (y - axis) generally decreases. The trend is negative (downward - sloping) and appears somewhat linear with a moderate to strong negative correlation (points cluster around a decreasing line).

Answer:

As the weight of vehicles increases, the gas mileage (miles per gallon) generally decreases. There is a negative association (or negative correlation) between vehicle weight and gas mileage, with the points showing a somewhat linear downward trend.
