Which describes the correlation shown in the scatterplot?

Question

On a graph, points are scattered over the graph.

There is a positive correlation in the data set.
There is a negative correlation in the data set.
There is no correlation in the data set.
More points are needed to determine the correlation.

Answer 1

Based on the description you've provided ("points are scattered over the graph"), it suggests that there may not be a clear pattern indicating a strong relationship between the variables.

Therefore, the most appropriate choice would be: There is no correlation in the data set.

However, if the points displayed a slight trend in one direction (positive or negative), it might require further analysis. But from your description alone, "no correlation" seems to align best.
