Could someone check this please? Thanks! Which associations best describe the scatter plot? Choose exactly two answers that are correct. A. linear association B. negative association C. nonlinear association D. positive association My answers are C and D A and B just don't seem to make sense image: http://prnt.sc/axbyeh

Directrix (directrix):

I agree with this: C. nonlinear association

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

What about D?

Directrix (directrix):

As time increases, the distance is not also increasing. So, I do not agree with D.

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

I thought it could've been B because it kind of looks that way

Directrix (directrix):

As time increase,s, distance decreases. What sort of association is that?

Directrix (directrix):

I would choose this for the second part of the answer. B. negative association

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

ooooooh

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

I see... Thank you.

Directrix (directrix):

On a negative association, as one variable gets bigger, the other gets smaller. Looking at the scatter plot from left to right, that seems to be happening.
