A ) Graph 4, no relationship B ) Graph 3, no relationship C ) Graph 2, no relationship D ) Graph 1, no relationship
Steps to derive
1 Plot the scatter diagram for the data.
2 From the scatter diagram, we can say that the graph does not follow any trend.
3 So, there is no relationship.
4 Therefore, Graph 4 is the correct answer since it matches the graph plotted.
