Question

does the correlation in the situation illustrate causation? the older a person is, the more often they go to the park. a) no, visiting the park more likely does not cause someone to be older. b) no, being older likely does not cause someone to visit the park more. c) yes, being older likely causes someone to visit the park more. d) yes, visiting the park more likely causes someone to be older.

Explanation:

Correlation does not imply causation. Just because an older person goes to the park more often does not mean age directly causes park - visiting frequency. There could be other factors like having more free time in retirement (not directly age - caused in a causal sense).

Answer:

B. No, being older likely does not cause someone to visit the park more.
