Here are the answers to each question:
**Question 1**:
A) Each of these relationships reflects a correlation. Which relationship does NOT also reflect causation?
- **Answer**: When basketball players spend more time in uniform, they score more points.
*(This is likely a correlation and not a causative factor, as spending time in uniform may not directly affect scoring points.)*
---
**Question 2**:
A) Each of these relationships reflects a correlation. Which relationship does NOT also reflect causation?
- **Answer**: When a high school has more students, the school's town has more new shopping centers.
*(This could be a correlation but not causation since the number of students may not directly cause new shopping centers to open.)*
---
**Question 3**:
A) Each of these relationships reflects a correlation. Which relationship also reflects causation?
- **Answer**: When veterinarians set more broken bones, they bandage more cuts.
*(This reflects causation because treating more broken bones likely requires treating more related injuries, such as bandaging cuts.)*
---
**Question 4**:
A) Each of these relationships reflects a correlation. Which relationship also reflects causation?
- **Answer**: When bakers make more bread, they use more flour.
*(This reflects causation as making more bread logically requires using more flour.)*
---
**Question 5**:
A) A high correlation coefficient such as 0.95 always indicates causation.
- **Answer**: False.
*(A high correlation does not imply causation; it only indicates a strong relationship between variables.)*
---
You may wish to double-check the context or underlying assumptions in these scenarios, as the answers depend on typical interpretations of correlation versus causation.
