What association is shown in the given scatter plot?

Question

A graph is shown with 17 points on an 8 by 8 square grid.• The horizontal axis of the grid is labeled Age. The vertical axis of the grid is labeled Hourly Wage.
• On the line 1 unit above the bottom axis of the grid, there is 1 point that is 4 and a half units to the right of the left axis.
• on the line 2 units above the bottom axis, there are 3 points at 3 units right, 6 units right and 7 units right of the left axis.
• On the line 3 units above the bottom axis, there are 3 points at 2 units right, 3 units right, and 5 units right of the left axis.
• 3 and a half units above the bottom axis, there is 1 point a half unit to the right of the left axis.
• On the line 4 units above the bottom axis, there are 2 points at 4 units right and 6 and a half units right of the left axis.
• Close the line 5 units above the bottom axis, there are 3 points at 2 units right, 5 units right, and 7 and a half units right of the left axis.
• On the line 6 units above the bottom axis, there are 3 points 1 unit right, 3 units right, and 6 units right of the left axis.
• Just below the line 7 units above the axis, there is 1 point that is 2 and a half units right of the left axis.
	A.	clustering
	B.	linear
	C.	negative
	D.	none of these

Bot · Answer

Without seeing the actual scatter plot, it is difficult to determine the exact association shown. However, based on the given information, it seems that there may be a positive linear association between age and hourly wage, as the points appear to be generally increasing from left to right as age increases. Therefore, the answer is B. linear.
