Question

question 15 (1 point)(05.07 lc)sarah described the following situation:when more apples grew in the backyard, the pet cat stayed indoors for a longer time.which of the following best describes the situation?a this is an example of correlation because there is an obvious relationship between the two scenarios.b this is an example of causation because apples cause cats to stay indoors.c this is an example of correlation because apples cause cats to stay indoors.d this is an example of causation because cats dislike apples.

Explanation:

Correlation refers to a relationship between two variables where they tend to occur together, while causation means one variable directly causes a change in the other. There is no evidence that apples directly cause the cat to stay indoors; the two events only show a observed relationship, not a causal one.

Answer:

a. This is an example of correlation because there is an obvious relationship between the two scenarios.
