Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the correlation r was found to be 0.98 (a value closer to 1).
Let X =how much red meat people consumed
let Y = how long they lived.
where the x-values are the values of the deviations of co-ordinates X from Xₙ, their mean value and the y-values are the values of the deviations of co-ordinates Y from Yₙ, their mean value.
That is, x=(X−Xₙ) and y=(Y−Yₙ).
The results of this determination give values of r lying between +1 and −1, where;
+1 indicates perfect direct correlation,
−1 indicates perfect inverse correlation and
0 indicates that no correlation exists.
Between these values, the smaller the value of r, the less is the amount of correlation which exists.
Generally, values of r in the ranges 0.7 to 1 and −0.7 to −1 show that a fair amount of correlation exists.
therefore, it can be seen that there is a perfect relationship between the quantity eaten and how long the person live
But, the correlation does not consider those that does not consume meat, and it is very hard to determined the answer to the question.
the answer is false because there are other reasons that determined longevity of life apart from meat consumption.
False: An individual who does not consume red meat would live much longer than someone who consumes an 18-ounce steaks nearly everyday.
Correlation r = 0.98
P-value for correlation = 0.0005.
Because the first connection does not indicate causality and the second correlation is positive, those who consume red meat should expect to live longer.
So, Option 'A' false is the correct answer,
