Question

A scatter plot is shown:

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph it is noticed that the data points are located at (0,0), (1,0.25), (2,1), (3,2), (4,3), (5,4), (5.5,5), (6,6), (6.4,7), (6.7,7.8) and (7,9).

The rate of change from first two data points is

$m_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{0.25-0}{1-0}=0.25$

The rate of change from next two data points is

$m_2=\frac{2-1}{3-2}=1$

$m_1\neq m_2$

The rate of change it not constant, therefore the given data points are non linear.

The value of y increases as the value of x-increases. It means there is a positive relation between x and y.

Therefore the graph represent a Nonlinear positive association between x and y. Option 2 is correct.
