Question

Analyze the following statement.

Marcus notices that he runs faster in the mornings rather than the evenings.

anonymous · Answer

Is the statement an example of correlation or causation?

 Correlation because time of day doesn't cause a person to run faster or slower

 Causation because Marcus has noticed this over several trials

 No relationship because time of day has nothing to do with how fast a person runs

 There is not enough information to make a conclusion

Hmm, I don't see how the time of day has to do with how fast a person can run.. I'm in between C or D tbh

Causation because Marcus has noticed this over several trials

anonymous · Answer

yup !

anonymous · Answer

Think about it , Marcus had to have done several trials for him to come to this conclusion. Now some might not agree but in the statement it only includes Marcus and only him. Now it says he notices, so he could be totally wrong. The rest of the statements are facts not arguments.
