Question

The number of touchdowns scored by a particular football team is positively

correlated with each of these variables. A change in which variable most
likely causes a change in the number of touchdowns scored?
O A. The team creates a new touchdown dance.
B. The team increases its practice time by 30 minutes each day.
OC. The team kicker breaks his leg.
D. The team drinks more water in the days leading up to games.

Answer 1

B. The team increases its practice time by 30 minutes each day.

This is because increasing practice time may improve the team's skills, coordination, and strategies, which could lead to an increase in the number of touchdowns scored. The other options may have an indirect or no effect on the team's performance in terms of scoring touchdowns.
