To accurately determine the type of association represented in the scatterplot, I would need to visualize the data points. However, since I can't see the scatterplot, I can help you understand the characteristics of each relationship type:
-
Exponential Relationship: This shows a rapid increase or decrease in values. The data points typically curve upwards (for growth) or downwards (for decay).
-
Positive Linear Relationship: This means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases. The scatterplot would show a straight line sloping upwards.
-
Negative Linear Relationship: Here, as one variable increases, the other variable decreases. The scatterplot shows a straight line sloping downwards.
-
Quadratic Relationship: This involves a parabola; the data points curve either upwards or downwards, indicating that the relationship is not straight.
If you can describe the scatterplot or the trend of the points, I can help you more accurately identify the type of association.
