Answer:

No, because James has confused the hours of watching tv with the hours of reading.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is incorrect. According to the graph, what we have is a point on the line at (6, 10), which implies that a student who reads for 6 hours will watch tv for 10 hours.

It is very likely that James is confusing the hours of watching tv with the hours of reading.
