What was observed in the scatter plot regarding hours on YouTube and schoolwork?

• No change in schoolwork hours with YouTube usage

• Random fluctuations in schoolwork hours

• More hours on YouTube, less hours on schoolwork

• More hours on YouTube, more hours on schoolwork

What does it mean if a scatter plot is linear?

• The data points form a parabolic shape

• The data points are randomly distributed

• The data points form a straight line

• The data points form a circular shape
