An illustration shows a scatterplot titled Attendance. The x-axis shows days ranging from 0 through 110 in increments of ten. The y-axis shows number of patrons and ranges from 600 to 800 in 25 unit increments.

Ten points are plotted on the graph. A kink is shown on both the x- and y-axes close to the origin to indicate a break in the data. The points are plotted at approximate coordinates (10, 725 right), (20, 675), (30, 700), (40, 750), (50, 650), (60, 675), (70, 700), (80, 725), (90, 725), and (100, 650).

A petting zoo graphed the average attendance of patrons every 10 days over a 100 day period of time. Interpret the scatterplot to determine what type of association the scatterplot shows.

-The graph shows a linear association.
-The graph shows a positive association.
-The graph is nonlinear.
-The graph shows a negative association.

The scatterplot shows a nonlinear association.

how does it show a nonlinear association?

The scatterplot shows a nonlinear association because the points on the graph do not form a straight line. Instead, they follow a curved pattern, indicating that there is not a consistent, linear relationship between the number of days and the number of patrons.
