which relationships would most likely be causal? check all that apply. a positive correlation between depth under water and pressure a negative correlation between total distance run and the runner’s height a positive correlation between a puppy’s age and weight a negative correlation between temperature and snowboards sold a positive correlation between the price of milk and the price of socks
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- As depth under water increases, pressure increases due to the weight of the water above, so it's causal.
- A runner's height has no direct causal link to the total distance run.
- As a puppy ages, it generally gains weight due to growth, so it's causal.
- As temperature decreases, more snowboards are sold as there is more snow - suitable conditions for snowboarding, so it's causal.
- There is no causal relationship between the price of milk and the price of socks.
Answer:
- a positive correlation between depth under water and pressure
- a positive correlation between a puppy’s age and weight
- a negative correlation between temperature and snowboards sold
