Answer 1

To determine the type of correlation suggested by a scatter plot, you would look for the following patterns:

• No Correlation: If the points are scattered randomly without a discernible trend.
• Positive, Strong Correlation: If the points cluster closely around a line that slopes upward from left to right.
• Negative, Strong Correlation: If the points cluster closely around a line that slopes downward from left to right.
• Positive, Weak Correlation: If the points trend upward but are widely scattered.
• Negative, Weak Correlation: If the points trend downward but are widely scattered.

Since I cannot see the scatter plot, please analyze the cluster of the points based on this description to choose the correct option.
