Scientists believe there is a link between ambient temperature and damage to a head gasket on a car. Using the provided information draw a scatterplot of the data. Based on the data, make an inference about if you should take your truck on a road trip to an area that has very low temperatures predicted for the time you will be there.

A. I would recommend that he goes as lower temperatures have a strong positive correlation, therefore the lower the temperature the less damage is caused.
B. I would recommend that he does not go as lower temperatures have a strong negative correlation, therefore the lower the temperature the more damage is caused.
C. I would recommend that he goes as there were many more temperatures with no damage than with damage.
D. I would recommend that he does not go as higher temperatures have a strong positive correlation therefore the higher the temperature the more damage is caused.
B. I would recommend that he does not go as lower temperatures have a strong negative correlation, therefore the lower the temperature the more damage is caused.
Explanation: A scatterplot of the data shows a clear negative correlation between temperature and damage index, with higher temperatures resulting in little to no damage and lower temperatures resulting in more damage. Therefore, it is not recommended to take the truck on a road trip to an area with very low temperatures predicted.
