Answer 1

The scatter plot represents a positive association.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scatter plot represents a positive association.

Positive association occurs when the values of two variables increase or decrease together. In a scatter plot with positive association, the data points generally form a upward-sloping pattern.

For example, if the scatter plot shows data on the number of hours studied and the corresponding test scores, and the points are clustered in an upward direction, it indicates a positive association between the two variables. In this case, the correct answer would be C. positive association.
