Which of the following is an example of correlation without causation? multiple choice

a. hpv can cause cervical cancer.

b. illegal drug use causes an increase in crime.

c. helicobacter pylori can cause ulcers.

d. people who commit crimes also consume bread.

e. parents have children.

This is an example of correlation without causation:

d. People who commit crimes also consume bread.

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, a correlation is a technique to measure the strength and direction of the reationship between a pair or more random continuous variables, causally related or not, independent from one another or influenced by a third factor, without an identified response variable

By the other hand, causation, or causality, is the capability of a first variable to influence or create another.

A correlation between variables, does imply that the change in one variable is the cause of the other variable´s modification, but causation points the first variable as the one causing the change in the other in an event.

slope is 35 and 20 miles is the y-intercept.

step-by-step explanation:

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
