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 \

\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?
