Which statement best describes the association between variables x and variable y? *moderate positive association *moderate negative association *perfect negative association *perfect positive association

The statement which best describes the association between variables X and variable Y is:

          moderate negative association

Since  by looking at the scatter plot we see that the Y-value is decreasing with the increasing x-value i.e. the two variables are in inverse proportion.

Hence, the two variables has a negative association.

Also, when we will draw a line of best fit we will observe that not all the data points will lie on the trend line but they will be closely related to the line of best fit.

Hence, the relationship is moderate.

             Hence the answer is:

           Moderate negative association.
