Question

(1 point) 1. 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) In this study, the response variable isA. neither height nor volume. The measuring instrument used to measure height is the response variable.B. height or volume. It doesn't matter which is considered the response.C. volume.D. height.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. volume

Step-by-step explanation:

The response variable in this scenario would be the volume of the usable lumber. That is because this variable depends completely on the height of the cherry trees that are being measured. The higher that the cherry trees are the more volume can be expected to get from cutting these trees down. The opposite goes for trees that are smaller, they would decrease the total expected volume that will be received from the usable lumber since there would be less amount of tree to cut down.
