Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a scatterplot titled Number of Laps the Swim Team Completes Per Week. The x-axis shows weeks ranging from 1 through 10 in increments of one. The y-axis shows number of laps and ranges from 100 to 1,000 in 100 unit increments.
Eight points are plotted on the graph. A kink is shown on both the x- and y-axes close to the origin to indicate a break in the data. The points are plotted at approximate coordinates left parenthesis 1 comma 50 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 150 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 200 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 300 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 500 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 6 comma 600 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 7 comma 700 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 8 comma 800 right parenthesis.

Responses

The graph shows a positive linear association.
The graph shows a positive linear association.

The graph shows a negative linear association.
The graph shows a negative linear association.

The graph shows no association.
The graph shows no association.

The graph is non–linear.
The graph is non–linear.

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The graph shows a positive linear association. This is because as the number of weeks increases, the number of laps completed by the swim team also increases in a fairly consistent and linear pattern.

Answer 2

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a scatterplot with the x-axis and the y-axis labeled. Eight points are plotted on the graph in a downward sloping direction from top left to bottom right.

The graph shows a positive association.
The graph shows a positive association.

The scatter plot shows no association.
The scatter plot shows no association.

The graph shows a non-linear association.
The graph shows a non-linear association.

The graph shows a negative association.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The graph shows a negative association. This is because as the x-values increase, the corresponding y-values decrease in a downward sloping direction from top left to bottom right.

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The scatterplot that shows a linear association is the one with the following x and y values:

x: 5, 8, 2, 4, 6, 12, 10, 1, 3, 7
y: 800, 700, 350, 450, 500, 1000, 900, 250, 400, 750

This scatterplot displays a more orderly trend where the relationship between x and y appears to be more linear compared to the other tables.

Answer 7

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The scatterplot that shows a non-linear association is the one with the following x and y values:

x: 50, 46, 90, 59, 78, 64, 68, 53, 70, 72
y: 75, 71, 100, 80, 90, 82, 85, 77, 87, 89

This scatterplot does not display a clear linear trend between x and y values. The relationship between the variables appears more curvilinear or non-linear in nature.

Answer 9

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The scatterplot that shows a linear association is the one with the following x and y values:

x: 5.0, 4.6, 5.9, 7.8, 6.4, 6.8, 5.3, 7.2
y: 9.5, 9.0, 11.0, 13.0, 11.5, 12.0, 10.0, 12.5

This scatterplot displays a more clear trend in which the relationship between x and y values appears to be linear and change consistently with each other.
