The point (35, 25) on the scatter plot represents one of the students in the group. In this case, it means that this particular student spent 35 minutes reading and was able to read 25 pages of the novel.
To determine the association between time and number of pages read, we can observe the general trend of the scatter plot. If the points on the plot mostly follow an increasing pattern, where as time increases, the number of pages read also increases, then the association would be positive. On the other hand, if the points mostly follow a decreasing pattern, where as time increases, the number of pages read decreases, then the association would be negative.
Looking at the scatter plot, we can see that as time increases, the number of pages read tends to increase as well. This suggests a positive association between time and number of pages read. In terms of the variables, we can say that there is a positive relationship between time spent reading and the number of pages read.
