Answer 1

To accurately assess the type of correlation suggested by a scatter plot, one would typically look for the following characteristics:

• Positive Correlation: As one variable increases, the other variable also tends to increase. The points would trend upwards from left to right.
• Negative Correlation: As one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease. The points would trend downwards from left to right.
• Strong Correlation: The points are closely packed around a straight line, indicating a clear relationship.
• Weak Correlation: The points are more spread out, indicating a less clear relationship.
• No Correlation: The points are scattered randomly with no discernible trend.

Since I don't have access to the scatter plot you're referring to, I can't definitively select an option. However, you can use the descriptions above to determine which type of correlation is present in your scatter plot. Choose the correct option based on the arrangement and pattern of the points in the plot.
