Plot the above information on graph paper, placing latitude on the x-axis (two degrees per em) and the temperature on the y-axis (2 degrees Celsius per cm) • Question 6. Is there a correlation between latitude and temperature. If so, describe this correlation (cause and effect) calculate the correlation mathematically. • Question 7. Explain why a correlation may exist. In determining the correlation, draw a line that represents the best mathematical fit. Do not connect the dots on your graph. • Question 8. Which four locations appear to have temperatures that are deviating? Select two locations that are above and two that are below the trend line. • Question 9. Why would the selected locations deviate from the trend? Provide at least one reason for each location. Consult the textbook pp. 52-55 for possible answers. (
