Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If A and B are highly correlated, it means that there is a strong relationship between the two variables. However, it does not necessarily mean that one variable causes the other. It is possible that a third variable causes both A and B. Therefore, option C is not the correct answer. Option A and B assume causality, which may not be accurate. The best answer is D because if two variables are highly correlated, we can use one variable (A) to predict the other variable (B).
