How can you determine if the association on a scatter plot is strong or weak?

• By observing how large the y-intercept is.
• By observing how large the slope of the trend line is.
• By observing how closely the points of the scatter plot are located to one another.
• By observing whether or not the scatter plot is linear.

The table below shows the number of pages and the approximate number of words in several books. Use the table to determine the type of association exists between these two variables. 

• Positive Association
• Negative Association
• No Association
• Not enough information to tell
