Headline B: “People Who Consume More Dairy Products Tend to Have More Muscle”
Determine which of the given headlines suggest the cause and effect relationship and which does not.
Answer to Problem 1SE
The headline A suggests the cause and effect relationship and the headline B doesn’t.
Explanation of Solution
The given two headlines are,
Headline A: ‘Dairy Builds Muscle’.
Headline B: ‘People Who Consume More Products Tend to Have More Muscle’.
Headline A says that consuming dairy products will result in building muscles that means there is a cause and effect relationship between dairy products and building muscles. Whereas, headline B says that there is a positive correlation between consumption of dairy products and building muscles that means, if someone consumes more dairy products, he/she tends to build more muscles, but the statement does not say anything about causation.
Thus, headline A has the language that suggests the cause and effect relationship, but headline B does not.
