Question

describe the association in the scatter plot below.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
the scatter plot shows
association because as the
plotted values of $x$ increase, the values of $y$ generally

Explanation:

First, observe the overall trend of the points in the scatter plot: as x-values move from left to right (increase), the y-values of the points tend to move downward (decrease). The points cluster closely along a general downward trend, so the association is strong.

Answer:

The scatter plot shows a strong negative association because as the plotted values of $x$ increase, the values of $y$ generally decrease.
