As the outside temperature increases, it is likely that ice-cream sales would also increase. However, this likelihood doesn't mean that outside temperature changes cause ice-cream sales to increase. Another lurking variable, such as more ice cream coupons available or longer store hours, may be causing the increase. Describe two variables that you think are associated. Describe the association in your own words. Describe a lurking variable and how it could influence the outcome of the association of the variables. Do you agree with the stated lurking variable and the influence on the outcome? Why or why not? Provide an additional possible lurking variable.
