To accurately interpret the scatterplot and determine the type of association it shows, I would need to see the visual representation of the data. However, I can explain how to interpret the associations based on common scenarios:
1. **Positive Association**: If the points on the scatterplot tend to rise from left to right, it indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable also tends to increase.
2. **Negative Association**: If the points tend to fall from left to right, it shows that as one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease.
3. **Linear Association**: If the points form a clear line (either upward or downward), it indicates a linear relationship, meaning the relationship can be well described by a straight line.
4. **Non-linear Association**: If the points do not form a straight line (they might form a curve or another pattern), it indicates a non-linear relationship.
Based on your options, here’s how to select the correct association:
- If you see a line with a positive slope, choose **"The graph shows a positive association."**
- If you see a line with a negative slope, choose **"The graph shows a negative association."**
- If the points are scattered but still form a recognizable linear pattern, you might say **"The graph shows a linear association."**
- If the data points do not fit a linear pattern and instead show some curvature or another form, choose **"The graph is non-linear."**
Without the actual scatterplot data presented, these guidelines should help you assess the association represented in the scatterplot.
