A study found two processes. Process A and Process B, are to be correlated. Which of the following is true for these processes?

A. The study indicates that Process A causes Process B

B. The study cannot indicate whether Process A and B have a negative relationship

C. The study does not indicate a causal relationship between the processes.

D. The study cannot indicate whether Process A and B have a positive relationship

Answer Explanation:

Correlation does not imply causation. Even if two processes are found to be correlated, it does not necessarily mean that one causes the other. It could be that they are both influenced by a third factor, or the correlation could be coincidental. Therefore, the study does not indicate a causal relationship between the processes.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

  • Q #3: Which of the following describes one difference between skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles?

    A. Skeletal muscles are found in the viscera whereas cardiac muscles are found in the cranium

    B. Cardiac muscles contain intercalated discs, whereas skeletal muscles do not

    C. Cardiac muscles are voluntary, whereas skeletal muscles are involuntary

    D. Skeletal muscles are autorhythmic, whereas cardiac muscles are not

    Answer Explanation

    Cardiac muscles have intercalated discs that enable them to contract in a coordinated manner. Skeletal muscles do not have intercalated discs, as their contraction is under voluntary control and does not require the same level of synchronization seen in the involuntary contraction of cardiac muscle.
