The correlation coefficient for blood pressure and amount of vegetables eaten in a group of people is −0.7. Analyze the following statement: High blood pressure is caused by not eating vegetables.

Is this a reasonable conclusion? (2 points)

No; blood pressure and eating vegetables are completely unrelated
No; even though there is a strong negative correlation, not eating vegetables doesn't necessarily cause high blood pressure
Yes; eating vegetables reduces blood pressure, so the opposite is also true
Yes; the correlation coefficient is below −0.5, so that implies causation

If m∠abc = 70°, what is m∠abd? justify your reasoning. using the addition property of equality, 40 + 70 = 110, so m∠abd = 110°. using the subtraction property of equality, 70 − 30 = 40, so m∠abd = 30°. using the angle addition postulate, 40 + m∠abd = 70. so, m∠abd = 30° using the subtraction property of equality. using the angle addition postulate, 40 + 70 = m∠abd. so, m∠abd = 110° using the addition property of equality.
