Question

question describe the correlation in the scatter plot below. answer attempt 2 out of 2 the scatter plot shows nonlinear correlation because as the plotted values of x increase, the values of y generally.

Explanation:

In a scatter - plot, if the points do not follow a straight - line pattern as the independent variable ($x$) changes, it is a nonlinear correlation. Here, as $x$ increases, $y$ does not change in a linear fashion. Also, observing the general trend of the points, as $x$ increases, $y$ decreases.

Answer:

The scatter plot shows nonlinear correlation because as the plotted values of $x$ increase, the values of $y$ generally decrease.
