Which situation represents causation rather than correlation? A. as the number of injured players on the sports team increases the number of fans attending the teams game increases

B. as more swimsuits are sold by department stores more sailboats are rented at the marina

C. as more people carry their umbrellas to work more people dress and heavier clothing

D. as a total number of family member increases the amount of money that the family spends on food increases

D. as a total number of family member increases the amount of money that the family spends on food increases

Step-by-step explanation:

i.e. independent variable acts like a cause to effect the dependent variable.

This can be seen only in Option D. as it is very obvious that increase in family member will increase the cost of food.

Hence, there is direct effect of number of people on food's cost.

Rest of options represents correlation but not causation .

Hence, the correction option is D.

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
