Please help! It would be greatly appreciated!

If we find that there is a linear correlation between the concentration of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and the global temperature, does that indicate that changes in the concentration of carbon dioxide cause changes in the global temperature? Choose the correct answer below. O A. No. The presence of a linear correlation between two variables does not imply that one of the variables is the cause of the other variable. O B. Yes. The presence of a linear correlation between two variables implies that one of the variables is the cause of the other variable.

Explanation / Answer

Given that, there is a linear correlation between the concentration of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and the golbal temperature. Therefore if we change the concentration of carbon dioxide then there is a change in global temperature.

Hence, Answer:

B) Yes. The presence of a linear correlation between two variables implies that one of the variable is the cause of the other variable.
