To determine which table has a non-linear association by graphing the data on a scatterplot, we need to analyze the provided (x, y) data pairs from each table.

  1. Table 1:

    • x: 2, 5, 7, 9, 3, 1, 4, 8, 6, 10
    • y: 60, 75, 80, 95, 65, 50, 70, 82, 78, 100

    This data appears to increase as x increases, but we need to plot the points to confirm whether the relationship is linear or not.

  2. Table 2:

    • x: 2, 5, 7, 9, 3, 1, 4, 8, 6, 10
    • y: 60, 75, 90, 97, 65, 50, 70, 60, 78, 100

    Again, this data needs to be plotted to verify the relationship's nature.

  3. Table 3:

    • x: 2, 5, 7, 9, 3, 1, 4, 8, 6, 10
    • y: 60, 75, 80, 65, 22, 59, 86, 100, 25, 97

    This dataset shows a more irregular pattern; plotting it would show whether it follows a non-linear pattern.

  4. Table 4:

    • x: 60, 75, 80, 95, 65, 50, 70, 82, 78, 100
    • y: 2, 5, 7, 9, 3, 1, 4, 8, 6, 10

    This table has x and y switched, suggesting that it will not have the same characteristics as the previous tables.

To analyze which table has a non-linear association, we would typically check the scatterplots visually. However, I can describe what trends would indicate non-linearity.

  • If the points follow a curve, show clusters, or deviate from a straight line, then the table likely exhibits a non-linear association.

Conclusion:

Without direct graphs to visualize, I can deduce that Table 3, which has values that deviate more irregularly than the others, likely represents a non-linear association. The presence of lower y-values and inconsistencies suggests a potential curve or non-linear behavior.

So, the table with a non-linear association is Table 3.
