Raul wondered if there was a relationship between the number of shots that a high school basketball player takes and the number of rebounds that a high school basketball player gets. Raul collected data from a randomly-selected group of high school basketball players. The data is shown in the scatterplot below.
Based on the data, which inference is valid?

D There is no correlation between a high school basketball player's number of shots and number of rebounds.
Based on the scatterplot, it appears that as the number of shots a high school basketball player takes increases, their number of rebounds also increases. Therefore, the valid inference is:
A) As a high school basketball player increases his/her shots, then his/her rebounds increase.
