If you regress daily high temperature (Y) on the amount of ice cream sales (X), you will notice that there is a strong positive correlation between the two. In other words, as daily ice cream sales increase, the daily high temperature increases. This implies that if we knew the amount of ice cream sales in a particular day, we could estimate, with a high level of accuracy, the high temperature in that day. Does this mean that if we wanted to increase the daily temperature, we need to sell more ice cream? Explain why or why not?
