Question

each of these relationships reflects a correlation. which relationship most likely reflects both correlation and causation? attending more plays is associated with attending more concerts. attending more sporting events is associated with buying food from concession stands more often. attending more music festivals is associated with taking more music lessons.

Explanation:

Causation implies that one event causes another. In the case of attending more sporting events and buying food from concession stands more often, being at the sporting - event location (cause) leads to the action of buying food from the concession stands (effect). In the other two cases, attending more plays and concerts may just be due to a common interest in the performing arts, and attending more music festivals and taking more music lessons may be related by a general interest in music but not a direct cause - and - effect relationship like the sporting event scenario.

Answer:

Attending more sporting events is associated with buying food from concession stands more often.
