Suppose that data collected from police reports of motor vehicle crashes show a moderate positive correlation between the speed
of the motor vehicle at the time of the crash and the severity of injuries to the driver. Answer the following question based only on this information. True or false: Traveling faster in a motor vehicle at the time of a crash causes more severe injuries to the driver.
A. True
B. False
A moderate positive correlation, e.g. r = 0.5 or 0.6, shows that there is some relationship between driving faster and accidents that result in more severe injuries. But that relationship is not very strong or solid and can result from other variables being involved or simply randomness. You cannot affirm that X causes Y if the correlation is not strong.
Take 3.27 and divide that by 1.09 (for the oranges) 3.27/1.09=3lbs. of oranges then take 4.76 and divide that by 1.19 (for the pears) 4.76/1.19=4lbs. of pears add 4+3 to get how many lbs. in all 4+3=7
