A scientist gathered data on the striped ground cricket to see if ground temperature (measured in degrees Fahrenheit) can be predicted by the number of chirps the cricket makes per second (measured in number of wing vibrations per second)^1. After collecting the data, he could create a scatterplot to understand if there is a positive linear trend.
Can LSR analysis be used to examine these data?
O No, because this is an observational study and not an experiment.
O Yes, because these are bivariate data and both variables are quantitative (and it does not matter that this was an observational study).
