Draw lines $2\sigma$ (will contain ~95% of all data) from the center along each axis to generalize the shape of a scatter plot. +You can appr ### Association - Positive association is demonstrated when the dots are trend upward as $x$ increases ($r$ is positive). - Negative association is demonstrated when the the dots trend downward as $x$ increases ($r$ is negative).
