To determine the type of association represented by the given points (1,0), (2,0), (9,50), (11,125), and (11,250), we can analyze the data visually and mathematically.
1. **Negative Association**: This would indicate that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases. However, this does not seem to be the case with the provided points, as there is an increase in y-values with increasing x-values.
2. **Linear Association**: For a linear association, the points would need to roughly fall along a straight line. The points given do not fall along a straight line; for example, the points (11,125) and (11,250) have the same x-value, suggesting a vertical alignment, which means the relationship cannot be linear.
3. **Nonlinear Association**: If the data points form a curve or some non-linear pattern, this could indicate a nonlinear association. Since the y-values rise sharply as the x-values approach 11, there's evidence of a possible nonlinear relationship.
4. **No Association**: This would imply there is no relationship between the x and y values. Given the changes in y-values corresponding to certain x-values, this is not the case here.
Based on the analysis, the data points show:
- A **nonlinear association** because of the abrupt increase in y-values, particularly at x = 11, and the varying behavior seen among the points.
In conclusion, the most accurate description of the association among these points is **nonlinear.**
