the data shows a positive linear association between the number of hours worked and tips earned. (option A)
Explanation:
To determine the statement that best fit the scatter plot, we study the trend:
As the time worked in hours increased, the tips earned increased.
A positive linear association shows increase in the y axis as the x axis increases
A negative linear association shows a decrease in y axis as the x axis increases
From the above, we see the x increases ( time worked in hours) as y increases ( tips earned)
Hence, the data shows a positive linear association between the number of hours worked and tips earned.
