Answer 1

Correct answers: A and D.

- A is true: the point at (70, 10) lies well outside the main cluster and is an outlier.
- D is true: the scatter shows a positive association — higher temperatures correspond to more visitors.
- B is false (association is positive, not negative).
- C is false (the trend appears roughly linear, not nonlinear).
- E is false because the plot shows association but does not show that temperature depends on number of visitors (it does not establish causation or direction).
