Question

each of these relationships reflects a correlation. which relationship most likely reflects correlation but not causation? hosting more dinner parties is associated with vacuuming more often. cleaning windows more often is associated with vacuuming more often. having more dogs is associated with vacuuming more often.

Explanation:

• For "Hosting more dinner parties...", hosting parties doesn't directly cause vacuuming (e.g., parties might lead to mess, but vacuuming is for cleaning, not a direct causal link from parties).
• "Cleaning windows..." and "Having more dogs..." have more direct causal potential (cleaning one area may lead to cleaning others; dogs create mess needing vacuuming). So the first is correlation without causation.

Answer:

Hosting more dinner parties is associated with vacuuming more often.
