Answer :

Final answer:

For correlated variables, a cause-effect relationship may not exist; factors like study habits can lead to misleading correlations.


Explanation:

Variables A and B do not appear to share a cause-effect relationship when there is a correlation present. In the context of the given pairs:

  1. Shoe size and ratings for a radio show are unlikely to have a cause-effect relationship as they are unrelated factors.
  2. Japan's stock market performance and hours of television watched per day might not be causally linked as one does not directly impact the other.
  3. Hours of television watched per day and performance in school may have a correlation due to a common cause like study habits but not a direct cause-effect relationship.
