A doctor's office found that a lower outside temperature did not indicate a change in the number of appointments made. What can we determine from this information? 1.There is no correlation between outside temperature and number of appointments made. 2.There is a correlation between outside temperature and number of appointments made. However, there is no causation. This is because there is likely an increase in the number of appointments made with a decrease in the temperature outside. 3.There is a correlation between outside temperature and number of appointments made. There may or may not be causation. Further studies would have to be done to determine this.
