A scatter plot displays data points representing the number of hours spent studying for an exam (x-axis) versus the score achieved on that exam (y-axis) for 50 students. The points generally trend upwards from left to right, but are widely dispersed. Which statement best describes the relationship shown in the scatter plot?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
The 'upwards trend' indicates a positive correlation. 'Widely dispersed' points suggest that this relationship is not very tight or predictable, thus indicating a weak correlation.
