The height (in feet) and volume of usable lumber (in cubic feet) of 32 cherry trees are measured by a researcher. The goal is to determine if volume of usable lumber can be estimated from the height of a tree. The results are plotted below. (a) The scatterplot suggests A. there is an outlier in the plot. B. there is a positive association between height and volume. C. both A and B. D. neither A nor B.
