Chapter 3: Q 17. (page 173)

More turnovers? Refer to Exercise 15 Does the fact that r=0.92 suggest

that an increase in turnovers will cause NBA players to score more points? Explain your reasoning.

Short Answer

Expert verified

No, the correlation does not suggest that an increase in turnovers will cause NBA players to score more points.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Correlation, r = 0.92

02

Explanation

In the previous problem,

We concluded that

Turnovers and points have a significant and positive relationship.

However,

The association does not mean causation.

That means

An increase in turnovers does not necessarily cause NBA players to score more points.

Movie candy Is there a relationship between the amount of sugar (in grams) and the number of calories in movie-theater candy? Here are the data from a sample of 12 types of candy:

a. Sketch a scatterplot of the data using sugar as the explanatory variable.

b. Use technology to calculate the equation of the least-squares regression line for predicting the number of calories based on the amount of sugar. Add the line to the scatterplot from part (a).
