Answer 1

To create the scatter plot based on the given data points, we have the following pairs (x, y):

• (6, 7)
• (4, 6)
• (3, 5)
• (2, 7)
• (1, 7)
• (5, 9)
• (8, 8)
• (0, 7)

After plotting these points on the graph, we analyze the relationship between the x and y values.

The scatter plot shows a weak positive association because as the plotted values of x increase, the values of y generally stay the same or slightly increase.

In summary, you could fill in the guided sentence as follows:

The scatter plot shows a weak positive association because as the plotted values of x increase, the values of y generally stay the same or slightly increase.
