Use the table to create a scatter plot and determine if it shows a linear association.

X: 6 1 3 6 4 8 7 2
Y: 9 3 6 8 7 10 10 4

To create a scatter plot, plot each (X, Y) pair on a graph.

(X, Y) pairs are as follows:
(6, 9)
(1, 3)
(3, 6)
(6, 8)
(4, 7)
(8, 10)
(7, 10)
(2, 4)

After plotting these points on the graph, it appears that there is no clear linear association between the X and Y values. The points on the scatter plot do not fall along a straight line, indicating that there is no linear relationship between X and Y in this case.
