Construct ascatterplot of theabove data. Whatdoes the scatterplotalone tell us about therelationship thatexists between thevariables x and y?Answer Choices:A. They share a very strong, positive, linear correlation. B. They share a moderately strong, negative, linear correlation. C. They share a very strong, negative, linear correlation. D. They share a moderately strong, positive, linear correlation.

Answer 1

Given:

Consider the given table of x and y values as reference of solution

To find:

Check the scatter plot alone that tell us about the relationship between variable x and y.

Explanation:

By considering the data, below scatter plot we can derived:

Also, here correlation coefficient is 0.9657 which is more than 0.7 indicating a strong positive linear correlation.

Final answer:

Hence, the correct option for relationship exist between the variables x and y is:

(A) They share a very strong positive, linear correlation.
