Correlation and causation

Full solution

Q. Each of these relationships reflects a correlation. Which relationship most likely reflects both correlation and causation?

\newline

Choices:

\newline

(A) Attending more string quartet concerts is associated with attending more piano recitals.

\newline

(B) Attending more car shows is associated with seeing more classic cars.

\newline

(C) Attending more magic shows is associated with reading more biographies of magicians.

Analyze Relationship: Analyze the relationship of the first option $A$ : Does attending more string quartet concerts cause someone to attend more piano recitals? The answer is not necessarily, as the attendance of one type of concert does not cause attendance at another; they may both be correlated due to a shared interest in classical music.
Analyze Relationship: Analyze the relationship of the second option ( extit{B}): Does attending more car shows cause someone to see more classic cars? The answer is Yes, as the presence of classic cars is a common feature at car shows, and attending more shows would likely result in seeing more classic cars.
Analyze Relationship: Analyze the relationship of the third option ( extit{C}): Does attending more magic shows cause someone to read more biographies of magicians? The answer is not necessarily, as the interest in reading biographies of magicians may be correlated with an interest in magic shows, but attending shows does not necessarily cause one to read more about magicians.
Select Likely Option: Finally, select the option that most likely reflects both correlation and causation. The answer is 'Attending more car shows is associated with seeing more classic cars.' as attending car shows likely causes an increase in the number of classic cars seen.
