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

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The correlation coefficient for blood pressure and amount of vegetables eaten in a group of people is −0.7.

The value of correlation coefficient lies between -0.6 and 0.79, i.e. there is a strong negative correlation between blood pressure and eating vegetables .

But correlation does not imply causation.

Therefore, the given conclusion is not reasonable .

y - y1 = m(x- x1)

y - (-5) = 2/3(x -0)

y + 5 = 2/3x

y = 2/3x - 5

  y= -3x is the required function.

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a table:

x             y

0             0

1             -3

3             -9

-2             6

we can see that the values of y is -3 times the value of x

hence, the function would be: y= -3x.

put the values of x will give the same y as in the table that means function is satisfying the given table.
