Which relationship could be represented by this scatter plot?

• As the number of muffins in a box increases, the price increases.

• As the speed of a car increases, the distance the car travels increases.

• As the population of a city increases, the number of schools in the

  city increases.

If a scatterplot has no association then...

• ...it has no ordered pairs

• ...it has ordered pairs that have a negative pattern

• ...its ordered pairs have no predictable pattern

• ...if it makes a lion on a graph (roar!)
