Explanation:

Scatter - plots show the relationship between two variables. If weight in ounces can be predicted by weight in grams, they are linearly related and have a strong positive correlation since they are two different units for the same quantity (weight).

Answer:

B. The scatterplot should have a positive, straight (linear), and strong correlation.
