Determine whether each situation illustrates a correlation, but not causation or causation. Explain your reasoning. 2. A class experiment shows a negative correlation between the width of a person's palm and the amount of time they spend watching television each day. 3. The larger a person's shoe size, the higher a person's reading level. 4. At a grocery store, there is a negative correlation between the price of cereal and the number of boxes of cereal sold. 5. Hae notices that the lower the daily temperature is, the less time she spends outside. A study compared the average monthly amount spent on swimsuits with the average monthly amount spent on air conditioning for several months in Sunnyside. The data is shown in the scatter plot. Use this information for Exercises 6 and 7. 6. ANALYZE Explain what the scatter plot shows and describe any correlation. 7. WRITE Explain whether this statement is accurate. "There is a strong positive correlation between spending money on swimsuits and spending money on air conditioning. Therefore, to cut down the amount of electricity used in Sunnyside, people should buy fewer swimsuits." 8. CONSTRUCT ARGUMENTS What is meant by this statement: Correlation does not imply causation? Justify your argument. 9. WRITE Does an accurate line of fit always predict what will happen in the future? Explain your reasoning.
