Answer 1

To determine whether there is a linear association based on a scatter plot, you would typically plot the provided data points (which you mentioned but did not include in your prompt). After creating the scatter plot with the data points, you would look for the following characteristics:

1. Linear Association: Points cluster closely around a straight line. The slope (the direction of the line) can be positive (upward slope) or negative (downward slope).

2. Non-Linear Association: Points do not follow a straight line. Instead, they may have a curve or other pattern suggesting a different relationship.

Since you have not provided specific data, I'm unable to create the scatter plot or analyze it visually. However, based on your observations:

• If the points seem to fit a straight line pattern, you would select, "Yes, the scatter plot shows a linear association."
• If the points do not fit a straight line pattern and seem to curve or cluster in another shape, you would select, "No, the scatter plot shows a non-linear association."

If you provide the data or describe the points, I could help you analyze it further!
