Use the following information to answer Questions .
The scatterplot below shows the relationship between a car's speed and the distance it traveled to come
to a complete stop when hitting the brakes. The correlation coefficient between the values is 0.81.
-Would it be appropriate to say that a car's speed causes its stopping distance?

A) Yes, the scatterplot shows a strong linear association, so the faster a car is going, the longer it takes to stop it.
B) Yes, since the correlation coefficient is close to 1, we can conclude causation.
C) No, since the correlation coefficient does not equal 1, we cannot conclude causation.
D) No, correlation never implies causation.
