For the four scatter plots, answer the following questions:
Does there appear to be a relationship between
$$x$$
and
$$y$$
?
If there is a relationship, does it appear to be linear?
If the relationship appears to be linear, is it a positive or negative linear relationship?
If applicable, circle the correct words in this sentence: There is a (positive/negative) association between
$$x$$
and
$$y$$
because as
$$x$$
increases, then
$$y$$
tends to (increase/decrease).

Problem 2
Pablo is curious if there is a relationship between the amount of time high school students spend on social media and their academic achievement. To explore this, he conducts a survey of 30 randomly selected students from his school, and asks them how many minutes they spent on social media yesterday and what their most recent grade point average (GPA) was. Pablo summarized his data in the scatter plot below.
