Based on the scatterplots created using the given data:
Scatterplot 1:
- Does not show a linear association as the points do not fall along a straight line.
Scatterplot 2:
- Does not show a linear association as the points do not fall along a straight line.
Scatterplot 3:
- Shows a linear association as the points fall relatively close to a straight line.
Scatterplot 4:
- Does not show a linear association as the points do not fall along a straight line.
Therefore, the scatterplot that shows a linear association is Scatterplot 3.
