Question

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

Answer 1

"Correlation, because time of day doesn't cause a person to run faster or slower ".

Explanation:

I took the test :)

Answer 2

The answer is "Correlation, because time of day doesn't cause a person to run faster or slower ".

Explanation:

That's the correct answer because causation would mean there is a cause and effect and in the question, there is no cause. It can't be the last one because there is enough information. It also can't be the third one because there is a relationship since he shown he runs faster in the evening. Also I took the test and it was right!
