Question

A professional hockey team has noticed that, over the past several seasons, as the number of wins increases, the total number of hot dogs sold at the concession stands increases. The hockey team concludes that winning makes people crave hot dogs. What is wrong with the hockey team’s conclusion?

Answer 1

Answer:

A) It does not take into account the attendance during each season.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is: It does not take into account the attendance during each season.

As per the given scenario, there exists a positive correlation between the number of wins during a season and the total number of hot dogs sold.

But, this does not prove that winning makes people crave hot dogs.

Rather this cannot be true even. Therefore, the hockey team’s conclusion is wrong as they did not take into account the attendance during each season.

This is possible that when there are more people, then hot dogs sales are more. But we cannot prove the sales of hot dogs based on the number of wins.
