Question

what is the strongest relationship you can infer between two variables from this statement? the number of minutes you can talk on a cell phone decreases as the phone’s battery charge decreases a. causation b. correlation c. association d. no relationship

Explanation:

Causation implies that one variable directly influences another. Here, the decrease in battery charge directly leads to a decrease in talk - time, which is a causal relationship. Correlation and association only show a relationship without necessarily implying that one causes the other. Since there is a clear cause - effect here, causation is the strongest relationship.

Answer:

A. causation
