determine the cause and effect in each of the following?

each time on of the burglaries occurred, observers noticed a red mustang in the vicinity. He police, of course, suspect the occupants as being responsible.

Giving the little guy anymore water could have prevented him from getting dehydrated. Said Ms. Delacruz.

Nearly all sick people have eaten carrots. Obviously the effects are cumulative

An estimated 99.9% of all people who die from cancer have eaten carrots.

Another 99.9% of people involved in auto accidents ate carrots within 60 days of the accident.

Some 93.1% of juvenile delinquents come from homes where carrots are served frequently.

All carrot eaters born between 1900 and 1910 have wrinkled skin, brittle bones, few teeth and failing eyesight…if the perils of carrot consumption have not already caused their deaths.

Solution

As multiple questions are posted, only the first one will be answered.

292. i. Correlation between being an animal and being a tiger is positive, but of low magnitude, as there are large number of animals who are not tigers. All tigers are animals, which leads to a positive correlation.

viii. Correlation between application of force and acceleration is perfectly positive as Force = Mass* Acceleration
