Concomitant variation refers to a relationship between two variables where a change in one variable is associated with a change in another variable. In this case, the temperature and sales are two variables that are showing a relationship - when one variable increases, the other variable also increases. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Nonspurious variation refers to a relationship between two variables that is not explained by a third variable, diagnostic variation refers to a difference in results that can be used to diagnose a problem, and absolute variation refers to the difference between two values. None of these options accurately describe the relationship between temperature and sales in Juan's store.
