Question

question 3 of 10 for which of these does correlation most likely imply causation? a. as grade point average increases, the number of scholarship offers increases. b. as the number of cups of coffee consumed increases, the price of a dress increases. c. as dishwasher use increases, the size of a dvd collection increases. d. as the hours spent studying increases, the number of points scored by a basketball team increases.

Explanation:

Causation implies that one variable directly influences another. In option A, a higher grade - point average is likely to directly lead to more scholarship offers because academic performance is a major factor in scholarship decisions. In option B, coffee consumption and dress price have no direct causal link. In option C, dishwasher use and DVD collection size are unrelated. In option D, studying hours and a basketball team's score have no direct causal connection.

Answer:

A. As grade point average increases, the number of scholarship offers increases.
