- a. Compute the
correlation between temperature and yield, between stirring rate and yield, and between temperature and stirring rate. - b. Do these data provide good evidence that the yield is unaffected by temperature, within the
range of the data? Or might the result be due to confounding? Explain. - c. Do these data provide good evidence that increasing the stirring rate causes the yield to increase, within the range of the data? Or might the result be due to confounding? Explain.
- d. Which experimental design is better, this one or the one in Exercise 7? Explain.

Develop a scatter diagram for these data, treating average distance traveled as the dependent variable.
A scatter diagram has 6 points. The horizontal axis ranges from 0 to 1.8 and is labeled: Distance. The vertical axis ranges from 5 to 35 and is labeled: Number. Moving from left to right, the leftmost point is at approximately (0.48, 30), with the next five points extending downward. The points decrease steeply at first and then level off.
