average years of education vs salary

Explanation:

• Positive or Negative: As the average years of education increase, the average salary also increases. So, it has a positive relationship.
• Linear or Non - linear: The scatter plot points seem to follow a general upward - sloping straight - line (linear) trend.
• Outliers: There is an outlier at approximately (14, 15000) (assuming the x - axis is years of education and y - axis is salary). This point is far from the general linear trend of the other points.
• What the Graph Tells: It tells that, in general, there is a positive linear association between the average years of education and the average salary. However, there is one data point that does not follow this general trend.

Answer:

• Positive.
• Linear.
• Yes, an outlier at approximately (14, 15000).
• There is a positive linear association between average years of education and average salary with one outlier.
