The scatter plot shows the number of pumpkins that have been picked on the farm during the month of October:

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 Pumpkins and the x axis is labeled Days in October

Part A: Using computer software, a correlation coefficient of r = 0.51 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 pumpkins picked and the day in October, write a scenario that would be a causal relationship for pumpkins picked on the farm. (5 points)

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
