Answer:
r² = 0.5652 < 0.7 therefore, the correlation between the variables does not imply causation
Step-by-step explanation:
The data points are;
X, Y
0.7, 1.11
21.9, 3.69
18, 4
16.7, 3.21
18, 3.7
13.8, 1.42
18, 4
13.8, 1.42
15.5, 3.92
16.7, 3.21
The correlation between the values is given by the relation
Y = b·X + a
Where;
N = 10
∑XY = 499.354
∑X = 153.1
∑Y = 29.68
∑Y² = 100.546
∑X² = 2631.01
(∑ X)² = 23439.6
(∑ Y)² = 880.902
From which we have;
r² = 0.5652 which is less than 0.7 therefore, there is a weak relationship between the variables, and it does not imply causation.
