The Table Shows the Weights (In Pounds)and Monthly Incomes (In

Essay

The table shows the weights (in pounds)and monthly incomes (in dollars)of nine randomly
selected women between the ages of 18 and 65. $$\begin{array} { r | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c } \text { Weight (lb) } & 113 & 132 & 155 & 122 & 166 & 140 & 118 & 129 & 185 \\\hline \begin{array} { r } \text { Monthly Income } \\\text { (dollars) }\end{array} & 1420 & 3650 & 5475 & 2310 & 4710 & 2910 & 1720 & 2460 & 4115\end{array}$$ If we use statistical methods to conclude that there is a correlation (or relationship or
association)between the weights of women and their monthly incomes, can we conclude
that by increasing her weight a woman can increase her monthly income?
