Question

the scatter plot shows the ages of players and their mini golf scores.
which statement is supported by the scatter plot?
the older the players are, the higher their mini golf scores.
the older the players are, the lower their mini golf scores.
the ages of players and their mini golf scores have a non-linear association.
the ages of players and their mini golf scores are not related.

Explanation:

Looking at the scatter plot, as age (x-axis) increases, mini golf scores (y-axis) tend to decrease in a roughly straight, linear pattern. This matches the statement that older players have lower scores. The first statement is incorrect (scores go down, not up), the third is incorrect (the association is linear, not non-linear), and the fourth is incorrect (a clear relationship exists).

Answer:

The older the players are, the lower their mini golf scores.
