Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a scatterplot titled Population of a Town. The x-axis shows years ranging from 2000 to 2009 in 1 year increments. The y-axis shows the number of residents ranging from 1,500 to 6,000 in increments of 500.
Ten points are plotted on the graph. A kink is shown on both the x- and y-axes close to the origin to indicate a break in the data. The points are plotted at approximate coordinates left parenthesis 2000 comma 1,500 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2001 comma 1,500 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2002 comma 2,000 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2003 comma 2,000 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2004 comma 3,000 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2005 comma 3,500 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2006 comma 4,000 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2007 comma 4,500 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2008 comma 5,000 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 2009 comma 5,500 right parenthesis.
The graph shows the population of a town. Interpret the scatterplot to determine what type of association the scatterplot shows. Enter 1 if there is a positive association. Enter 2 if there is no association. Enter 3 if there is a negative association.

To interpret the given scatterplot based on the coordinates provided, we can analyze the pattern of the data:
- The population of the town increases from 1,500 residents in 2000 to 5,500 residents in 2009.
- As the years progress from 2000 to 2009, the population tends to increase at various intervals, which indicates a trend.
Based on this information, we can conclude that there is a **positive association** between the years and the population of the town.
Therefore, you should enter **1** for a positive association.
- The population of the town increases from 1,500 residents in 2000 to 5,500 residents in 2009.
- As the years progress from 2000 to 2009, the population tends to increase at various intervals, which indicates a trend.
Based on this information, we can conclude that there is a **positive association** between the years and the population of the town.
Therefore, you should enter **1** for a positive association.
