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

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

No; even though there is a strong negative correlation, not eating vegetables doesn't necessarily cause high blood pressure

answer:      

step-by-step explanation:

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
