MR Assign 5 Soln

From the table, it can be seen that higher incomes correlate with higher product use, while lower incomes correlate with lower product use, showing a quantity-based concomitant variation between income and product use. While the relationship between income and product use could be causal, with income depending on product use, the hypothesis cannot be proven as other variables like quality and durability also impact product use, and income is not the only determining factor.

A) From the table we can see that , when the income is high the number of people who uses

the product is also high and when the income is low the number of people who uses the product is also low. So, the two variables , product use and income are concomitantly varying. Thus it is a quantity based concomitant variation. B) The relationship between these two variables might be causal. To prove this, consider the hypothesis that product use and income are in casual relationship with each other, where the income is dependent variable (X) and product use is the independent variable (Y) . a. From the table , as Y increases when there is an increase in X and the converse is also true. Due to this the hypothesis becomes more tenable. b. But there are also other variables which determines the frequency of use of products like the quality , durability of the product. Income is not the only factor, so we cant prove the hypothesis.
