Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scatterplot shows a moderate to high positive correlation between the two variables. There is no clear indication of a curvilinear relationship, truncated range, or selection by interaction effect. Therefore, options A, B, and D can be eliminated. Option E is also incorrect because it suggests both C and D are true, but we have no evidence of a selection by interaction effect.
