Final Answer:
a. The data represent a positive correlation.
b. As age increases, height tends to increase.
c. Yes — because the points trend upward from left to right, indicating that older toddlers tend to be taller.

Explanation:
- Look at the scatter plot: each dot shows one toddler’s age (x-axis) and height (y-axis).
- When you glance from left (younger ages) to right (older ages), the dots generally go up — meaning taller heights go with older ages. That’s a *positive correlation*.
- So for part (a): it’s a positive correlation.
- For part (b): the relationship is that height increases as age increases — they move in the same direction.
- For part (c): yes, you can conclude that older toddlers are usually taller, because the pattern is clear and consistent (dots rise together), even if not every single dot fits perfectly. That’s what “positive correlation” means — a general upward trend.
