Question

which set of variables has correlation and causation?
a. distance traveled and money spent on gas
b. distance traveled and money spent on snacks
c. distance traveled and number of drinks consumed
d. distance traveled and time spent listening to music

Explanation:

Correlation means two variables are related, and causation means one variable causes the other. More distance traveled generally requires more gas, so there is both a relationship (correlation) and a cause - effect (causation) as the distance causes the gas expense. For B, C, and D, traveling a distance doesn't directly cause spending on snacks, number of drinks consumed, or time listening to music.

Answer:

A. distance traveled and money spent on gas
