Yes.

Explanation of Solution

The researcher wants to know that is the age of women get married has changed over the past years or not. The scatterplot given in the question shows the trend in age at first marriage for American women. From looking at the scatterplot given in the question, we can say that the relationship between women age with years is linear until 1945 and then becomes non-linear until 1970 and then again become linear until end year. So, there is a clear pattern of the scatterplot of women’s age at first marriage with years.

No, it is not high.

Explanation of Solution

The researcher wants to know that is the age of women get married has changed over the past years or not. The scatterplot given in the question shows the trend in age at first marriage for American women. From looking at the scatterplot of women’s age at first marriage with years we can say that the association is not high as the graph is non-linear between the years.
