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 | }
\hline \text { Weight (lb) } & 113 & 132 & 155 & 122 & 166 & 140 & 118 & 129 & 185 \

\text { Monthly Income } \
\text { (dollars) }
\end{array} & 1420 & 3650 & 5475 & 2310 & 4710 & 2910 & 1720 & 2460 & 4115 \
\hline
\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?
