The scatterplot would have no clear pattern or relationship between the two variables. A correlation coefficient of 0 indicates no linear relationship between the variables. However, there could be a non-linear relationship or a relationship between the variables that is not captured by the correlation coefficient. Therefore, we cannot infer anything about the scatterplot from the correlation coefficient alone.
