Identify Positive, Negative, No Correlation Scatter Plots

Identify the clusters, correlation, and outliers in the scatter plot.

• There is a cluster between 250 and 750 on the x-axis, an outlier at (1500, 53,000) and this is a positive correlation.

• There is a cluster between 0 and 250 on the x-axis, an outlier at (1500, 53,000) and this is a negative correlation.

• There is a cluster between 500 and 750 on the x-axis, an outlier at (1500, 53,000) and this is a positive correlation.

Which description matches the scatter plot?

• Negative Association with two Clusters one between 0 and 0.5 on the x axis and the other between 0.5 and 1 on the x axis and two Outliers.

• No Association

• Positive Association with two Clusters one between 0 and 0.5 on the x axis and the other between 0.5 and 1 on the x axis and two Outliers.

• All outliers

Describe the association shown in the scatter plot.

• The scatter plot shows a positive linear association between driver age and max distance to read sign because as the age of the driver increases, the max distance to read sign increases.

• The scatter plot shows a positive nonlinear association between driver age and max distance to read sign because as the age of the driver increases, the max distance to read sign increases.

• The scatter plot shows a negative linear association between driver age and max distance to read sign because as the age of the driver increases, the max distance to read sign decreases.

• The scatter plot shows a negative nonlinear association between driver age and max distance to read sign because as the age of the driver increases, the max distance to read sign decreases.

• The scatter plot shows a no association between driver age and max distance to read sign because the age of the driver increases and the max distance to read sign show no association
