Math Problem Statement

State whether the following Scatter plot has: 1 - Positive correlation 2 - Negative correlation 3 - No correlation

Solution

The scatter plot in the image shows data points that appear randomly distributed without any discernible pattern. The points do not form an upward or downward trend. Therefore, this scatter plot indicates no correlation between the variables.

The correct answer for this question is 3 - No correlation.
