To determine what type of correlation is suggested by a scatter plot, you would typically look at the direction and strength of the data points:

  • No Correlation: If the points are scattered randomly with no discernible pattern.
  • Positive, Strong Correlation: If the points form a clear upward trend, closely clustered together.
  • Negative, Strong Correlation: If the points form a clear downward trend, closely clustered together.
  • Positive, Weak Correlation: If the points show an upward trend but are more spread out and less tightly clustered.
  • Negative, Weak Correlation: If the points show a downward trend but are also more spread out and less tightly clustered.

Since I don’t have access to the scatter plot you're referring to, I can't provide a specific answer. You would need to assess the characteristics of the scatter plot based on the descriptions above to choose one of the options.
