The scatterplot would likely show a negative correlation, where as the number of hours of television watched increases, the reading ability (or level) decreases. This means the points would start higher on the left (indicating better reading ability with fewer hours of TV) and go lower towards the right (indicating worse reading ability with more hours of TV).
