Question

question 3
correlations allow us to determine causality.
○ true
○ false

Explanation:

Correlation measures the relationship between two variables (e.g., how they vary together). However, just because two variables are correlated (e.g., ice cream sales and shark attacks both increase in summer) does not mean one causes the other (the summer weather is a confounding variable here). To determine causality, experimental designs (like controlled trials) or more rigorous causal analysis methods are needed, not just correlation. So the statement is false.

Answer:

B. False
