Question

A scatter plot is made with the data shown.Time (hr)123456789Distance from Destination (mi)32028024020016012080400What type of association will the scatter plot for this data represent between the time, in hours, and the distance from the destination, in miles?No associationNegative linear associationPositive nonlinear associationPositive linear association

Answer 1

The Solution:

Given:

Required:

To determine the type of association (relationship) that exists between the time (hrs) and the distance from the destination (miles).

Below is the scatterplot of the given data:

From the scatter plot above, it is clear that a negative linear association exists between the two quantitis of concern.

Therefre, the correct answer is [option 2]
