Carlos was studying whether or not eating fast food had a effect on a person's weight. He surveyed 100 people and recorded the number of times they ate fast food per week and their weight. Carlos then calculated the correlation value and got a value of 0.93.
Which conclusion could Carlos make?
es )
A)
Eating fast food does not cause an increase in a person's weight.
B)
There is no relationship between eating fast food and a person's weight
0
There is a strong positive relationship between a person's weight and
eating fast food.
D)
There is a definite cause and effect relationship between eating fast food
and gaining weight.

I got this right

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

the answer is b i just did that
