Is household water usage and the the number of people in a household correlated? It this a causal or spurious relationship? Are there any confounding or mediating variables which help tell the story?

The somewhat confirmed statement but it mainly claimed the average american family used 300 gallons per day and that showers and toilets make up most of the percentage.

With 70 percent being indoors and the 30 mainly being outside and I think it have a casual relationship.

I learned that there are many factors that can affect water usage but that there are some factors that are unaccounted for like the amount of water each person in capable of using daily or weekly.

The size of the household causes more water to be used because when there are more people present, more water is necessary compared to a simple household of one or two people.

I think we should make make predictions based on our model because like Our class has a higher number of people due to the large number of schools and families in the area, but there are certain areas of California that aren’t like this at all, such as Alpine, Mariposa, Modoc, and Plumas, where there are barely any houses and no schools.

And I think there are a lot of big cities in california but there are also a lot of ghost towns in california too. So overall I believe that our class has a higher number of people. Since Roseville is more of a family town compared to other cities in CA.

Since R squared = 0.168, we cannot justify a correlation since this is a social science topic and R squared > 0.35 to be a strong fit. Because of this there is a weak relationship between household size and water usage.
