Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement shows a positive relationship between temperature and crime rate, indicating that as temperature increases, the crime rate also increases. This suggests that there is a correlation between these two variables. Option B is incorrect because extreme cold weather may also lead to criminal activity, and not all crime stops when the temperature falls below zero degrees. Option C is incorrect because the statement suggests a correlation between temperature and crime rate, not a causal relationship. Option D is not a valid solution, as it is not feasible to relocate all criminals to Alaska.
