Attempt 1 out of 2
The scatter plot shows
association because as the plotted values of xx increase, the values of yy generally
.

Answer 1

To create the scatter plot based on the given data points, we have the following pairs (x, y):

- (6, 7)
- (4, 6)
- (3, 5)
- (2, 7)
- (1, 7)
- (5, 9)
- (8, 8)
- (0, 7)

After plotting these points on the graph, we analyze the relationship between the x and y values.

The scatter plot shows a **weak positive** association because as the plotted values of x increase, the values of y generally **stay the same or slightly increase**.

In summary, you could fill in the guided sentence as follows:

The scatter plot shows **a weak positive** association because as the plotted values of x increase, the values of y generally **stay the same or slightly increase**.
