Graph and label as either direct or indirect the relationships you would expect to find between (a) the number of inches of rainfal per month and the sale of umbrellas, (b) the amount of tuition and the level of enrollment at a university, and (c) the popularity of an entertainer and the price of her concert tickets.
Sketch a graph to illustrate your idea of each of the following relationships. Be sure to label both axes appropriately. In each case, explain under what circumstances, if any, the curve could shift:
The relationship between a person’s age and height
Average monthly temperature over the course of a year
A person’s income and the number of hamburgers consumed per month
The amount of fertilizer added to an acre of land and the amount of corn grown on that land in one growing season
An automobile's horsepower and it's gasoline mileage (in miles per gallon)

- For each of the following scenarios, indicate whether the relationship between the two variables is positive or negative, as well as which line on the previous graph has a slope that reflects this type of relationship. Hint: The X-axis and Y-axis on the graph are not labeled intentionally. You need to substitute the variables from each scenario for the horizontal and vertical axis. For example, in the first scenario, X-axis should be labeled “Income" and Y-axis should be labeled "Education".
