There is a
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: A table showing the meal portion size and calories.
Calculation:
The values in the scatter plot are in a straight line.
It can be observed that as the value of x- increases, the values of y also increases.
Therefore, there is a positive correlation.
c.
To find: The data causation.
c.
