Scientists believe there is a link between ambient temperature and damage to a head gasket on a car. Using the provided information, draw a scatter plot of the data. Based on the data, make a probabilistic inference about if you should take your truck on a road trip to an area that has very low temperatures predicted for the time you will be there.

1I would recommend that he goes, as there were many more temperatures with no damage than with damage.

2I would recommend that he goes as lower temperatures have a strong positive correlation, therefore the lower the temperature the less damage is caused.

3I would recommend that he does NOT go as lower temperatures have a strong negative correlation, therefore the lower the temperature the more damage is caused.

4I would recommend that he does NOT go as higher temperatures have a strong positive correlation, therefore the higher the temperature the more damage is caused.

There isn't enough information provided to make a definitive probabilistic inference about whether or not to take the truck on a road trip to an area with very low temperatures. The scatter plot would provide a visual representation of the relationship between ambient temperature and damage to a head gasket, but without seeing the actual plot or any statistical analysis, it is not possible to make a conclusion.
