Answer 1

The graph shows a positive association between consumption rate of ice cream and murder rate. It does not suggest ice cream consumption is the cause of increase in murder rate. It does tells us that there is an underlying cause associating consumption of ice cream to murder rate.

• The graph only suggests an association but not a causation.

Recall:

• Correlation between two variables suggests a relationship between both variables but do not necessarily establish a cause-and-effect relationship.

Thus, the graph shows a positive relationship between ice cream consumption and the rate of murder. It tells us that as ice cream consumption increased, murder case increases also.

However, this is only a relationship. It does not imply that ice cream consumption is the direct cause of murder rate. There are other variables related to both variables that the graph doesn't explain.

In summary, the graph shows a positive association between consumption rate of ice cream and murder rate. It does not suggest ice cream consumption is the cause of increase in murder rate. It does tells us that there is an underlying cause associating consumption of ice cream to murder rate.

• The graph only suggests an association but not a causation.
