Describe the association shown in the scatter plot.

• The scatter plot shows a positive linear association between driver age and max distance to read sign because as the age of the driver increases, the max distance to read sign increases.

• The scatter plot shows a positive nonlinear association between driver age and max distance to read sign because as the age of the driver increases, the max distance to read sign increases.

• The scatter plot shows a negative linear association between driver age and max distance to read sign because as the age of the driver increases, the max distance to read sign decreases.

• The scatter plot shows a negative nonlinear association between driver age and max distance to read sign because as the age of the driver increases, the max distance to read sign decreases.

• The scatter plot shows a no association between driver age and max distance to read sign because the age of the driver increases and the max distance to read sign show no association
