Ok so here are my conclusions:
Cant be A or B because we dont know the data
I dont know weather C or D

hero · Answer

You just admitted we don't know the data, so between C and D, what conclusion can we draw based on it. Can we determine a correlation if there's no data?

henrietepurina · Answer

No, so the answer is simply D?

hero · Answer

Are you sure there's no data set? It says "Given the data set..." I don't think it would start off that way if there was no data given.

henrietepurina · Answer

Ok so that makes it C because there shouldnt (naturally) be any correlation

hello? @Hero

hero · Answer

Do you have a given data set or not?

hero · Answer

I can't see the same thing you can see, but I just know that if it says "Given a data set", then there should be one. You first need to make sure there is or isn't one.
