Question

describe the correlation in the scatter plot below.
answer attempt 2 out of 2
the scatter plot shows no correlation because as the plotted values of ( x ) increase, the values of ( y ) generally show no pattern.

Explanation:

To determine the correlation in a scatter plot, we analyze the pattern of the points. If there's no consistent upward or downward trend as \( x \) increases, it's no correlation. Here, the \( y \)-values don't follow a pattern (like increasing, decreasing, or a curve) with \( x \)-values increasing. So the scatter plot shows no correlation because \( y \)-values show no pattern with \( x \)-increase.

Answer:

The scatter plot shows no correlation because as the plotted values of \( x \) increase, the values of \( y \) generally show no pattern.
