Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. For questions involving scatter plots, identify the type of association shown.
A scatter plot is a graph that shows the relationship between two sets of data. We can describe the association between the data points as positive, negative, or no association.
Positive Association: As one set of data increases, the other set of data also increases.
Negative Association: As one set of data increases, the other set of data decreases.
No Association: There is no clear pattern or relationship between the data sets.
