Question

Use the table below to create a scatter plot and determine if it shows a linear association.

x coordinates: 6, 1, 3, 6, 4, 8, 7, 2
y coordinates: 9, 3, 6, 8, 7, 10, 10, 4

would the scatter plot be non linear or a linear association

Answer 1

To create the scatter plot, we'll plot each pair of x and y coordinates on a graph:

(6, 9)
(1, 3)
(3, 6)
(6, 8)
(4, 7)
(8, 10)
(7, 10)
(2, 4)

After plotting all the points, we can see that the scatter plot does not show a clear linear association. The points appear to be scattered and do not form a straight line. Therefore, the scatter plot shows a non-linear association.
