Question

a recent government agency found that 89% of people that owned a car were above the poverty line, while only 8% of people that did not own a car were above the poverty line. they concluded that owning a car kept people out of poverty and started a program to give cars to people below the poverty line. identify the problem with the study. (1 point) some of the sample data are missing. the correlation between the variables implies causality. the result is based on a precise number. a nonresponse occurred.

Explanation:

Just because there is a correlation between car - ownership and being above the poverty line doesn't mean that owning a car causes one to be out of poverty. There could be other factors at play, like higher income allowing for car - ownership.

Answer:

The correlation between the variables implies causality.
