                Which choices BEST describes the relationship between the variables shown in the graph below?
A scatter plot is shown with 20 data points showing a strong positive relationship. The x-values of the data points extend from 0 to 9, and the y-values of the data points extend from 80 to 10.
a
People who completed more years of college generally made less money than those who completed fewer years of college.
b
Going to college CAUSES a person to earn more income.
c
People who made more money generally completed more years of college than those who made less money.
d
There is a strong, positive correlation between years of college and income.
e
There is no relationship between college completion and income.
f
People should go to college.
