Question
David asked 20 people if they can buy a new product that he developed at each of several prices. The scatter plot shows how many of the 20 people said “yes” at a given price. Describe the association between price and the number of buyers.
- The association is about the strength of linear association.
- The association is linear.
- The association is non-linear.
- none of the above
The correct answer is: The association is non-linear.
When the price gets increases, the number of buyers gets decreases So, there is a negative association. Because the data points do not lie along a line, the association is non-linear.
Correct option is (a)
When David kept the price of his product $2 there were total 20 buyers
when he increased the price to $4 the number of buyers reduced to 19
when he further increase the price to $8 the number of buyers reduced to 11
The graph is clearly depicting when the dependent variable increases the independent decreases and the change in the dependent is not constant with the change iof independent variable
and hence it shows a case of non linear association

Alexa is training for a 10K race. For each of her training runs, she recorded the distance she ran and the time she ran. She made a scatter plot of her data and drew a trend line. Use the trend line to predict how long it would take Alexa to run 4.5 miles.
For 1 mile alexa took 7.5 minute
for 2 miles she took 15 minutes
Similarily the trend of graph is clearly depicting the time taken for alexa to cover a distance of 4.5 mile is 45 minutes .

The slope is undefined means
Correct option is (a)
When there is increase in dependent variable without any change in independent variable the graph shows a vertical line which means the slope of the line is undefined 
The slope is undefined means
Correct option is (a)
When there is increase in dependent variable without any change in independent variable the graph shows a vertical line which means the slope of the line is undefined
The slope is zero means
Correct option is (a).
when slop of any equation is zero it means there is no change in dependent variable with change in independent variable hence the graph becomes a horizontal line
The slope is zero means
Correct option is (a).
when slop of any equation is zero it means there is no change in dependent variable with change in independent variable hence the graph becomes a horizontal line

When the value of the independent variable increases and the value of the dependent variable
Increases such type of correlation is
When the value of the independent variable increases and the value of the dependent variable
Increases such type of correlation is
When the value of the independent variable increases and the value of the dependent variable
decreases such type of correlation is
The correct option is (a).
Reason : Whenever there is decrease in dependent variable with increase in independent the graph is downward with negative slope
When the value of the independent variable increases and the value of the dependent variable
decreases such type of correlation is
The correct option is (a).
Reason : Whenever there is decrease in dependent variable with increase in independent the graph is downward with negative slope
The scatter plot shows David’s height at various ages. Choose the right answer that describe the type of association between David’s age and his height.
The corerect option is (c)
Reason :
As the height of David increases with increase in his age , the graph is going upward as both the variable are increasing so it is a case of positive association and since there is almost constant change in both the variable it is shows linear relationship also
