(Correlation and Causation)
For each of the following assertions, reword in such a way that would remove the bias and would reflect a proper research statement. Pretend the research has been conducted, and you are writing what the research showed. Because these are mock examples, you can make up the exact response as long as it reflects the prompt given. Your answer can reflect either correlation or causation terminology, but include at least two of each. Identify which one your statement reflects.
