Valid Not Valid A Generally, as the number of activities increases, the grade point average increases. B Generally, as the number of activities increases, the grade point average decreases. C Generally, as the number of activities increases, the grade point average stays about the same. D The data indicates that increases in the number of activities cause the grade point average to increase. E The data indicates increases in grade point average cause students to increase the number of activities in which they are involved. F There is a strong negative relationship between the number of activities and grade point average. G There is a strong positive relationship between the number of activities and grade point average. H There is very little relationship between the number of activities and grade point average.

First of all, this is an observational study. So, we cannot make any "cause-effect" conclusions.
therefore D and D are not valid correct?
You mean D and E are not valid ?
yes because they are cause and effect
oh yeah D and E
Good. D and E are not valid
Lets look at other options
I think A and G are the only valid ones...
I'd go with A and H
why H can you explain please
have a look at this http://image.mathcaptain.com/cms/images/106/positive-correlation.png
oh ok because is not strong?
Yeah the points are kinda spread out, so I feel it is not a strong positive correlation...
ok thank you :) btw if I have more questions can I tag you?
Sure..
it told me it was incorrect :( what did we do wrong?
How many more chances do you have ?
1 more :)
Maybe you're correct. A and G are the only valid options
i just thought about it because of the correlation coefficient
Correlation coefficient is 0.3 right ?
which is 0.86 and is closer so one than it is to 0.50
no is 0.86
Ohh it is 0.86 !
You're totally correct then
lol I hope so
I have overlooked that sorry
yup it was correct :D
nah no worries it happens :)
Awesome!
yeah thank you for your help :)
