Highschool Students: Below are the heights and weights for highschool male Stat students used to evaluate the association between height and weight.



Your data is in L1 and L2, create the plot, sketch it in the 'show your work' section.
Be sure to label the x and y axis.
Use the thick line tool to enter the dots.

Does your analysis prove that an increase in height causes an increase in weight?
Explain.

After conducting a marketing study to see what consumers thought about a new tinted contact lens they were developing, an eyewear company reported:
'Consumer satisfaction is strongly correlated with eye color.'
Comment on this statement, is it correct?
