Analyze the following statement:
Marcus notices that he runs faster in the mornings rather than the evenings.
Is the statement an example of correlation or causation?
Correlation, because time of day doesn't cause a person to run faster or slower
Causation, because Marcus has noticed this over several trials
No relationship, because time of day has nothing to do with how fast a person runs
There is not enough information to make a conclusion
is it d pls help
its not D, Ms. Sue. my guess would be A.
Correlation, because time of day doesn't cause a person to run faster or slower is the correct answer I just took the test
Yes, D.
Yes, the correct answer is (d) There is not enough information to make a conclusion.
To determine if the statement represents correlation or causation, we need more information about the relationship between Marcus running faster in the morning and running slower in the evening.
Correlation refers to a relationship between two variables where a change in one variable is associated with a change in the other variable. However, correlation does not imply causation. In this case, if there is a correlation between Marcus running faster in the mornings and slower in the evenings, it could be due to other factors, such as his energy levels, motivation, or other external variables.
On the other hand, causation implies that one variable directly causes a change in another variable. For example, if there was evidence showing that running in the morning provides Marcus with increased energy levels, leading to faster running times, that would indicate a causal relationship.
Without additional information about the factors influencing Marcus's running speed in the mornings and evenings, we cannot determine whether the statement represents a correlation or causation.
