- 20) A study in the Los Angeles Times reported that the number of liquor stores in a neighborhood has a strong positive linear association with the amount of crime in that neighborhood. What can you determine about the relationship between the number of liquor stores and the amount of crime? Neighborhoods with a higher number of liquor stores tend to have a higher amount of crimes. People who live in neighborhoods with more liquor stores commit more crimes. If we decrease the number of liquor stores in a neighborhood, the amount of crimes will decrease. No conclusions can be drawn without seeing a scatterplot of the data.arrow_forwardThe following table shows retail sales in drug stores in billions of dollars in the U.S. for years since 1995.
