Question

select all that apply. to describe the direction of an association, say there is a strong association a linear association a positive association a nonlinear association a negative association a weak association no association

Explanation:

To describe the direction of an association between two variables, we use "positive" (as one variable increases, the other tends to increase) or "negative" (as one variable increases, the other tends to decrease). "Strong/weak" describe the strength, "linear/nonlinear" describe the form, and "no association" means no relationship. So the options related to direction are positive and negative association.

Answer:

C. a positive association, E. a negative association
