Question

suppose that there were a strong correlation between the variables g and h. which of these is a true statement? a. h must cause g. b. g must cause h. c. g may cause h. d. g must not cause h.

Explanation:

Correlation does not imply causation. Just because there is a strong correlation between variables g and h, it doesn't mean one variable must cause the other. There could be a causal relationship, but it's not guaranteed. It's possible that g may cause h, or h may cause g, or a third - variable may be influencing both.

Answer:

C. g may cause h.
