Question

A government passes a law increasing taxes on banks. Two days later, there are several banks robberies. A political who opposed the taxes claims that the new law is causing banck robberies. Why is the politicians arguments not very convincing?

Answer 1

B. It confuses correlation with causation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation is when something is related but not caused by something else, causation states that something is caused by the movement of something else. If you pass the law and then the robberies happened there is some correlation to some grade, but not causation because you can't prove that the law caused the robberies.

HOPE that helps!! :)
