Alice reads a scatterplot that shows data for nine schools. It relates the percentage of students receiving free lunches to the percentage of students wearing a bicycle helmet. The plot shows a strong negative correlation. Alice recalls that correlation does not imply causation. In this example, Alice sees that increasing the percentage of free lunches would not cause children to use their bicycle helmets less. Identify the confounding variable that is causing Alice's observed association. The number of free lunches available Parents' income The number of bike helmets available School funding

Identify the confounding variable that is causing Alice's observed association. The number of free lunches available Parents' income The number of bike helmets

available School funding

Parents' income A confounder is a variable that influences both the dependent variable and independent variable, they can suggest there is correlation.

Which of the following is NOT a guideline for establishing causality? Take into consideration all the other possible causes. Keep all variables the same to get duplicate results. Look for cases where correlation exists between the variables of a scatterplot. Perform a randomized, controlled experiment.

Jesse takes two data points from the weight and feed cost data set to calculate a slope, or average rate of change. A ferret weighs 2.1 pounds and costs $3.40 per week to feed, while a Labrador Retriever weighs 70 pounds and costs $7.50 per week to feed. Using weight as the explanatory variable, what is the slope of the line between these two points? Answer choices are rounded to the nearest hundredth. $1.62 / lb. $16.56 / lb. $.06 / lb. $1.73 / lb.

Jesse takes two data points from the weight and feed cost data set to calculate a slope, or average rate of change. A ferret weighs 2.1 pounds and costs $3.40 per week to feed, while a Labrador Retriever weighs 70 pounds and costs $7.50 per week to feed. Using weight as the explanatory variable, $0.06 / lb.
is the slope of the line between these two points.
Solution
($7.50 - $3.40) / (70 lb. - 2.1 lb.) = $4.10 / 67.9 lb. $0.06 / lb.
