The scatter plot shows the number of flowers that have bloomed in the garden during the month of March: A scatter plot with points showing an upward trend with points that are moderately spread out from a line of best fit. The y axis is labeled Number of Flowers and the x axis is labeled Days in 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.
