Determine whether correlation is appropriate for pattern a scatter plot showing a logarithmic curve.
Using a hint is okay. It just tells the trainer to give you a little more review.

recognize that r measures linear association.
Hidden until you reveal it.
Pattern description must distinguish linear from nonlinear form.

Your answer is equivalent to the expected form.
Walkthrough
Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Identify whether the scatter plot form is linear.
2. If linear, correlation is appropriate for direction and strength.
3. If nonlinear, explain that r may not capture the relationship well.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
