There is a strong positive linear correlation between the number of rainy days and the number of tomatoes produced on a tomato plant. Does this mean that more rainy days cause the tomato plants to produce more?

More number of Rainy days will produce more number of tomatoes on a tomato plant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There is a strong positive linear correlation between the number of rainy days and the number of tomatoes produced on a tomato plant.

Let us consider number of rainy days be variable 1.

And number of tomatoes produced on a tomato plant be variable 2.

Solution:

A strong Linear relationship is said to be with correlation coefficient of - 1 or 1.

Also Positive correlation means that if one variable becomes greater then the other variable tends to become greater.

Here we can say if Variable 1 is bigger then variable 2 is bigger.

Hence We can say that More number of Rainy days will produce more number of tomatoes on a tomato plant.
