After gathering data about the number of starfish and measuring the pollution in areas of the ocean you find a negative linear correlation between pollution levels and number of starfish. What can you conclude based on this information? a. There is a confounding variable that is affecting both pollution and starfish. b. As pollution rises the number of starfish falls c. That pollution is causing starfish to die, leading to the negative correlation d. That pollution is supporting starfish, leading to the negative correlation

Dr. Erie, a researcher at the Moore County Botany Institute, reported the following correlations. The correlation between pH level of soil and tomato weight is r₁ = -0.4. The correlation between hours of sunlight and tomato weight is r2 = 0.1. According to this information, which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply. Larger tomatoes result from more daily hours of sunlight. Larger tomatoes result from higher soil pH level. Tomato size is related more strongly to hours of sunlight than to soil pH level. None of these are true.
