Question

A positive correlation between scores on a measure of physical health and scores on a measure of marital

satisfaction would indicate that:
O good physical health improves marital happiness.
O marital happiness has no relationship with physical health.
O marital happiness promotes good health.
O higher levels of marital happiness are associated with higher levels of physical health.

Answer 1

Higher levels of marital happiness are associated with higher levels of physical health.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a statistic says good health and marital satisfaction come hand in hand, it is reasonable to assume they are correlated/associated. There is no way to know if the health promotes marital happiness or if the marital happiness promotes health. We know they have a correlation. Therefore the other 3 answers do not make sense.
