sarah described the following situation:
when one patient with a common cold takes a medicine and the other patient does not take any medicine, the person who takes medicine recovers faster than the person who does not take medicine.
which of the following best describes the situation?
o this is an example of both correlation and causation.
o this is an example of neither correlation nor causation.
o this is an example of correlation.
o this is an example of causation.

Explanation:

Correlation means there's a relationship between two variables. Causation means one variable causes the other. Here, taking medicine (variable 1) and recovering faster (variable 2) shows a relationship (correlation). Also, the medicine likely causes the faster recovery (causation).

Answer:

This is an example of both correlation and causation.
