What are some problems with eating fish from higher trophic levels?
NikAS [45]
<span>Trophic levels refer to where organisms fall on the food chain. Fish from higher trophic levels are often larger and have a higher dollar value at market, resulting in overfishing and the depletion of those species from the wild. If those fish are continued to be consumed at a high level, the loss of predators at the top of the food chain could throw off the balance in the ecosystem.</span>

Select the correct answer.

Answer: strong positive correlation

Explanation:

A positive correlation exists when the correlation coefficient that we've is greater than 0. This means that both variables that are given move in the same direction.

Since the correlation between the number of hours Brad studies and the grades he gets is 0.8, it means that there's a strong positive correlation due to the fact that the value is close to +1.

This means that the number of hours that Brad studied is a good predictor of

the grade that he gets in his examination but it's not perfect.
