Check my answer?

You suspect that the spiciness of food served in a restaurant is positively correlated with number of soft drinks ordered. You have gathered several observations of people ordering food of different spice-levels and the number of soft drinks they ordered. What would be your next steps to test your hypothesis? Plot all data together on a dot plot to assess if there is any visible correlation between the data sets. Offer a conclusion based on the data you observed. Pick two points on the dot plot and find a line of best fit. Find the correlation coefficient to see how well the line of best fit actually fits the data. I was thinking A

A would be correct

explanation? I was thinking A but I wanna make sure that I understand clearly why it's A

Mehek (mehek14):

because you would want to plot all the data first to see if they show a positive correlation
