Answer: D. During an economic downturn, a company changes its computer policy to only allow purchases of windows-based laptops and see profits go down. The company concludes that windows-based laptops cause profits to go down

Concluding that a computer type causes profits to go down however in a period where the economy as a whole is buying less, is simply correlation. In an economic downturn, people are buying less goods in general. The laptops will be no exception and it is not a reflection of people's preference or lack thereof of them.

= $56666.67 + $133,333.33 + $12,000

The 4 months are calculated from January 1 to May 1, 2015
