Concept explainers
To find: the sensitivity of coral reefs to changes in water temperature and find the explanatory and response variables and explain whether it is categorical or quantitative
Answer to Problem 1E
Here, the explanatory variable is water temperature and the response variable is the weight.
Water temperature and weight are quantitative variables
Explanation of Solution
The temperature of water changes every year, therefore, the growth of coral will increase or decrease according to the temperature of the water every year hence, the given coral growth per year is a response variable whereas the temperature of sea surface is an explanatory variable.
So, the temperature of the water is the explanatory variable and the weight of the coral is the response variable and the weight of the coral and temperature of the water also comes under the quantative variable.
