which relationships would most likely be causal? select two options. 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 a positive correlation between the length of the side of a pool and its depth a positive correlation between the height of a woman and the height of her brother a negative correlation between the volume of water in a pot and the amount of time that the water takes to boil

which relationships would most likely be causal? select two options. 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 a positive correlation between the length of the side of a pool and its depth a positive correlation between the height of a woman and the height of her brother a negative correlation between the volume of water in a pot and the amount of time that the water takes to boil

Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. For the negative correlation between temperature and snow - as temperature rises, snow melts, so there is a causal relationship.
  2. For the negative correlation between digital photos uploaded and storage space left - more photos uploaded means less storage space, a causal link exists.
  3. The length of a pool side and its depth are not causally related.
  4. A woman's height and her brother's height are not causally related in a direct way.
  5. The volume of water in a pot and boiling time have a positive correlation (more water, more time), not a negative one as stated, and they are causally related but the option has wrong correlation type.

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
