The scatter plot shows the number of flowers that have bloomed in the garden during the month of March: Part A: Using computer software, a correlation coefficient of r = 0.98 was calculated. Based on the scatter plot, is that an accurate value for this data? Why or why not? (5 points)

Part B: Instead of comparing the number of flowers and the day in March, write a scenario that would be a causal relationship for flowers in a garden. (5 points)

Answer/Explanation:

A. Fom the dattached diagram below showing the number of flowers that have bloomed in the garden in the month of March, we can infer that the trend shows a strong positive correlation. If we attempt to draw a straight line to connect some of the points on the plot, we would realized that we're going to be having a line that slopes upward, and also points are either on the line or are at least not far from the line drawn. Having a correlation coefficient or r = 0.98, we can assume that value to be accurate because the trend shows a positive correlation that is closer to a correlation coefficient of 1.

B. A scenario that would show a casual relationship for flowers in the garden is the comparison of the numbers of flowers in the garden and the quantity, in kg of a nutrient-rich fertilizer.

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
