Mr. Kent conducts health research with children. Over the course of multiple studies, he has found that sedentary lifestyle in early childhood was correlated with increased obesity in late childhood. Mr. Kent concludes that all obese adults did not engage in enough exercise in early childhood. What is the most glaring problem with this conclusion?

a. We do not know how many studies he has conducted
b. We do not know the age range of early and late childhood
c. This demonstrates correlation, not causation
d. We do not know what defined as exercise

This demonstrates correlation, not causation

Explanation:

correlation is interdependence between two variable thereby meaning to say how one behave with change in other. If there is change in A be will also change or if there is change in B then A will change.

while causation is applied where Any action lead to consequences.

It means if A happens then B will happens but it is not necessarily true that if B happens A is the only reason behind it.

Here Mr Kent. has made a conclusion that sedentary lifestyle causes Obesity hence hence applied Causation to make conclusion for all adults and hence it wrong.

While it is given that sedentary lifestyle and increased obesity is correlated.

hence option C is correct answer.

according to hess's theory, when the magma cooled, it would expand and push the tectonic plates apart. it would push the north and south america plates to the west and eurasia and africa ones to the east. the atlantic ocean would get wider but the coastlines of the masses would stay the same.

harry hammond hess was a geologist and a united states navy officer in the second world war. he is considered to be one of the founding fathers of the theory of plate tectonics. he is known for his theories on sea floor spreading, stating that the movement of the continents was the result of see floor spreading. the continents are attached to the plates and do not move separately. the plates themselves shift and change shape, carrying the continents along.
