Answer: There is a positive correlation between plant growth and the time spent in light.


Step-by-step explanation:
Since, According to the relation between two variables, there are three types of correlation in the scatter plot.
Positive correlation: In which, the value of dependent variable, increases with increasing the value of independent variable, .
Negative correlation: In which, the value of dependent variable, decreases with increasing the value of independent variable, .
No correlation: In which there is relation between the independent and dependent variable.
Here, the in is the and is the .
And, when we examine the given graph, we found that with increasing the time spent in light the growth of the plant is increasing.
Thus, In the given scatter plot there is a positive relation between the plant growth and the time spent in light.
