Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This hypothesis meets the criteria of causality because it suggests that increasing education causes an increase in income, even after controlling for potential confounding factors like gender and race. It implies a directional relationship between education and income, with education being the cause and income being the effect. The other options do not necessarily imply a causal relationship or do not meet all the criteria for causality.
