Answer:</h2>
The type of association between x and y is:
Nonlinear negative association.
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
<u>Negative association--</u>
Two variables x and y are said to have a negative association if with the increase of one variable the other variable decreases and vice-versa.
<u>Linear Association--</u>
A scatter plot is said to have a linear association if the points plotted on the graph lie along a line i.e. we get a trend line as a line.
Here after looking at the scatter plot we observe that with the increase in the value of x the y-value is decreasing i.e. the two variables have a negative association.
Also, the points on the plot do not lie along a line.
<em> Hence, the association is:</em>
<em> Nonlinear negative association.</em>
