Question

In a scatter diagram, we describe the relationship between _________

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When evaluating a scatter diagram, the central idea is to explore how two quantitative variables relate to each other. 
Option 1 says 'a variable measure on the interval or ratio level and time.' A scatter plot typically shows two numeric measurements plotted against one another, not time as the second axis unless time is treated as another variable; time on its own is not the standard pairing for describing a relationship between two numeric variables. 
Option 2 states 'two variables measured at the ordinal level.' Ordinal data are ordered categories, which are not appropriate for a true scatter diagram that plots continuous relationships; scatter plots require numeric scales to compute and visualize correlation and trend. 
Option 3 claims 'two variables, one measured as an ordinal variable and the other as a ratio variable.' Mixing an ordinal variable with a ratio one does not produce the conventional scatter diagram interpretation, since the ordinal axis does not provide meaningful numeric spacing for correlation and line fitting. 
Option 4 presents 'two variables measured at the interval or ratio level.' This aligns with the standard use of scatter diagrams: plotting two continuous, numeric variables (interval or ratio scales) to examine the relationship, direction, strength, and form of association. 
In summary, options 1–3 introduce elements (time as a variable, ordinal measurement, or mixed measurement levels) that are not consistent with the typical interpretation of a scatter diagram, whereas option 4 matches the established definition by using two numeric variables on interval or ratio scales.
