You live in New Jersey and last year you opened a food and drink stand on Wildwood Boardwalk. You are reviewing last year's sales to prepare inventory for the coming months. You notice that the number of certain food or drink items sold seems to fluctuate with the seasons. You decide to investigate the relationship between temperature and the sale of these products and compile the table of data below. Month Avg Temperature # Of Cold Drinks Sold # of Cookies Sold # of Hot Cocoa's Sold January 39 110 50 270 February 42 130 30 255 March 51 155 80 180 April 62 168 68 140 May 72 200 100 28 June 81 210 50 16 July 86 250 39 8 August 84 255 80 4 September 77 216 60 14 October 88 220 70 6 November 55 139 40 195 December 44 115 90 240 If your last name begins with the letter A-H, you will look at the relationship between cold drink sales and temperature. Indicate whether you think cold drink sales and temperature have positive, negative or zero correlation and explain your reasoning.
