question 53

Essay

The table shows the weights (in pounds)and monthly incomes (in dollars)of nine randomly
selected women between the ages of 18 and 65. $$\begin{array} { r | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c } \text { Weight (Ib) } & 113 & 132 & 155 & 122 & 166 & 140 & 118 & 129 & 185 \\\hline \begin{array} { r } \text { Monthly Income } \\\text { (dollars) }\end{array} & 1420 & 3650 & 5475 & 2310 & 4710 & 2910 & 1720 & 2460 & 4115\end{array}$$ If we use statistical methods to conclude that there is a correlation (or relationship or
association)between the weights of women and their monthly incomes, can we conclude
that by increasing her weight a woman can increase her monthly income?
