Question

does the correlation in the situation illustrate causation? the longer a persons hair, the fewer number of photos they take. a) no, having longer hair likely does not cause someone to take fewer photos. b) no, taking fewer photos likely does not cause someone to have longer hair. c) yes, taking fewer photos likely causes someone to have longer hair. d) yes, having longer hair likely causes someone to take fewer photos.

Explanation:

Correlation does not imply causation. Just because there is a correlation (longer hair and fewer photos taken) does not mean one causes the other. There is no logical or scientific reason to believe that having longer hair causes someone to take fewer photos.

Answer:

A. No, having longer hair likely does not cause someone to take fewer photos.
