the scatter plot below shows data points and the line of best fit. identify the association on the scatter…

Brief Explanations:

In a scatter plot, a positive association means that as the explanatory variable increases, the response variable also tends to increase. A negative association means that as the explanatory variable increases, the response variable tends to decrease. The strength of the association (strong or weak) is determined by how closely the data points cluster around the line of best fit. If the points are widely scattered, the association is weak. In this scatter plot, the data points are not closely clustered around a line (either positive - sloping or negative - sloping). There is no clear upward or downward trend that can be easily identified.

Answer:

No association (since there is no clear upward or downward trend and the points are too scattered to indicate a strong or weak positive/negative association)
