Question

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

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.
