Answer : there is correlation between the number of inhabitants and the amount of trash produced, there may or may not be causation , further studies would have to be done to determine this

Explanation:

What can be determined from a study that shows that houses with more inhabitants same number of trash as houses with fewer inhabitants is that: there is correlation between the number of inhabitants and the amount of trash produced, there may or may not be causation , further studies would have to be done to determine this.

This is due to the fact that an increase in population is suppose to have an equivalent increase in trash been produced but in this study the increase in population had no effect in the increase or decrease in trash therefore further studies would have to be conducted to determine the causation of such .
