A study was conducted on the effects of divorce. Researchers gathered data from a random sample of 5,125 adults and measured quite a few variables, in addition to the explanatory variable of divorce and the response variable of shorter life span. According to a newspaper article summarizing the study, those who divorced were more likely to be less physically active, at an unhealthy weight, and smokers. Those who were married were about 15% more likely to be deceased. What conclusion can we draw from this study? Explain. (5 points) We can infer a cause-and-effect relationship because the sample was selected randomly. We cannot infer a cause-and-effect relationship because we do not have a control group. We can infer a cause-and-effect relationship because multiple variables were included. We cannot infer a cause-and-effect relationship because the treatments imposed were not blocked correctly. We cannot infer a cause-and-effect relationship because treatments were not assigned randomly.

We can infer a cause-and-effect relationship because multiple variables were included.

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiple attributes for the divorced ones are

1) less physically active

2) an unhealthy weight,

3) smokers.

The attribute showing the % of the married is

1) death

So when we compare the two groups married and divorced we see different variables are involved in evaluating the percentage.

This shows a cause and effect involving multiple variables.

In cause and effect one variable is dependent and the other is independent.

The cause is the independent variable and effect is the dependent variable.

CAUSE                          EFFECT

Married                         Death

Divorced                     1) less physically active

                                  2) an unhealthy weight,

                                     3) smokers.

well my understanding of this question is they want you to use the y=14.1x -2.3 and put the coordinates they gave you onto the line segment of   y=14.1x -2.3
