Which scatterplots have a nonlinear association? Select three options.

Question

On a graph, points form a curved line.
On a graph, points form a curved line.
On a graph, points are grouped together to form a vertical cluster.
On a graph, points form a curved line.
On a graph, points are scattered all over the graph.

Answer 1

Based on the descriptions provided, the scatterplots that have a nonlinear association are:

1. On a graph, points form a curved line.
2. On a graph, points form a curved line. (This option is repeated, but it still represents a nonlinear association.)
3. On a graph, points are scattered all over the graph. (This could indicate a lack of a clear linear trend and potentially suggest a nonlinear association, depending on the actual distribution of points.)

So the three options with nonlinear associations are:

1. Points form a curved line.
2. Points form a curved line.
3. Points are scattered all over the graph.
