There is an association between the variables.

There is no correlation because the relationship is not linear.

It cannot be determined if a change in one variable

Mario Horn · Answer 2

Because the graph shows a pattern that is an arch shape, Hope can conclude that there is an association between the variables. However, because the relationship is not linear, there is no correlation. The pattern shows that as one variable changes, the other variable changes in the same way. This does not imply that a change in one variable causes the change in the other variable to happen. Hope cannot conclude that there is a causal relationship.
