match the pairs of variables with the type of relationship they show.
the number of high school seniors
and high school graduates
the amount of snowfall
and the number of voters
the number of doctors
and the number of nurses
correlation without causation
correlation with causation

Explanation:

• Correlation without causation:
• For "the amount of snowfall and the number of voters", snowfall doesn't cause changes in the number of voters. There is no direct causal link.
• For "the number of doctors and the number of nurses", an increase in doctors doesn't directly cause an increase in nurses (they are related as part of the healthcare system but not in a direct cause - effect for the sake of this simple categorization in terms of the given options).
• Correlation with causation:
• For "the number of high - school seniors and high - school graduates", as the number of high - school seniors increases (assuming a constant graduation rate), the number of high - school graduates will increase. There is a causal relationship (seniors graduate to become graduates).

Answer:

• Correlation without causation: the amount of snowfall and the number of voters, the number of doctors and the number of nurses
• Correlation with causation: the number of high school seniors and high school graduates
