What type of association does the graph show between x and y? linear positive association nonlinear positive association linear negative association nonlinear negative association

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the scattered points lie near to a straight line which has positive slope, then the data represents the linear positive association.

If the scattered points lie near to a U-shaped curve, then the data represents the Nonlinear association

If the scattered points are not related to each other (neither linear association nor nonlinear  association ), then the data represents no association.

If the scattered points lie near to a straight line which has negative slope, then the data represents the linear negative association.

From the given graph it is clear that the scattered points lie near to a straight line which has negative slope, therefore the data represents the linear negative association.

Therefore the correct option is 3.

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
