Is the width of a tornado related to the amount of distance for which the tornado is on the ground? Go to to obtain the data file 4₃₃1. The data represent the width (in yards) and length (in miles) for tornadoes in Louisiana in 2017 and are from the file Tornadoes₂017 that we have been analyzing throughout the course.
Interpret the slope.
a) The slope represents the average increase in width for each additional mile the tornado is on the ground.
b) The slope represents the average decrease in width for each additional mile the tornado is on the ground.
c) The slope represents the change in width when the tornado is not on the ground.
d) The slope represents the change in length when the tornado is not on the ground.
