WeakTip: Pay or attention to the spread moderately of strong points; tight clusters indicate stronger associations association.

• There is a noticeable trend, but the points are widely spread around the line, indicating a weaker relationship.

e) Very strong association

• The points cluster tightly along a line, suggesting a very predictable relationship between the variables.

Steps for Identification:

1. Check for trends in the scatterplots: upward (positive), downward (negative), or no trend (no association).
2. Examine how closely the points align: tightly (strong) or loosely (weak).
3. Consider the shape: a straight line (linear) or curved (nonlinear).

If you'd like, upload the scatterplots, and I’ll analyze them to match these criteria.

Here are 5 relevant questions to explore further:

1. How do you define "strength" in statistical associations quantitatively?
2. Can you have a nonlinear but very strong association? Why or why not?
3. What real-world examples fit each type of association?
4. How does correlation coefficient relate to the strength of association?
5. Why is distinguishing linear vs. nonlinear associations important in data analysis?

Tip: Always look for outliers in scatterplots—they can affect your interpretation of associations.
