Example Question #31 : Ethics
An observation that increased sugar intake results in greater activity in lab mice would indicate which of the following?
Possible Answers:
Coincidence
Zero correlation
Negative correlation
Positive correlation
Causal relationship
Correct answer:
Positive correlation
Explanation:
As the intake of sugars increases, the activity of the mice increases. If this were to be graphed, it would indicate a positive correlation from a line with a positive slope. It is important to note that this would be a correlation; furthermore, correlation simply reveals possible relationships and does not necessarily indicate causation, which may be the result of a lurking or confounding variable.
