Answer 1

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:

1. **Exponential Relationship**: This shows a rapid increase or decrease in values. The data points typically curve upwards (for growth) or downwards (for decay).

2. **Positive Linear Relationship**: This means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases. The scatterplot would show a straight line sloping upwards.

3. **Negative Linear Relationship**: Here, as one variable increases, the other variable decreases. The scatterplot shows a straight line sloping downwards.

4. **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.
