Answer 2

a) moderate positive association

Explanation:

Given is a graph with points of x,y plotted on it.

The scatter plot has variable X on x axis and Y on y axis.

The points plotted shows that whenever x increases, y increases.

Hence there is a positive association

The line of regression seems to have more points deviated from the line.

Hence there cannot be a strong correlation.

Hence there is a positive moderate correlation.
