which relationships would most likely be causal? select two options.\na negative correlation between the temperature and the amount of snow still on the ground\na negative correlation between the number of digital photos uploaded to a website and the amount of storage space that is left\na positive correlation between the length of the side of a pool and its depth\na positive correlation between the height of a woman and the height of her brother\na negative correlation between the volume of water in a pot and the amount of time that the water takes to boil
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- For the temperature - snow relationship: Higher temperatures cause snow to melt, so there is a causal negative correlation.
- For the digital photos - storage space relationship: Uploading more digital photos uses up storage space, resulting in less remaining space, a causal negative correlation.
- The length of a pool side and its depth are not causally related as one does not cause the other.
- A woman's height and her brother's height are related by genetics but not in a causal way where one causes the other.
- There is a positive correlation between the volume of water in a pot and the time it takes to boil (more water, more time), not a negative one as stated.
Answer:
a negative correlation between the temperature and the amount of snow still on the ground, a negative correlation between the number of digital photos uploaded to a website and the amount of storage space that is left
