Leno4ka [110]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Limitations of Correlations

Correlation is not and cannot be taken to imply causation. Even if there is a very strong association between two variables we cannot assume that one causes the other. For example suppose we found a positive correlation between watching violence on T.V. and violent behavior in adolescence.

An important limitation of correlational research designs is that they cannot be used to draw conclusions about the causal relationships among the measured variables. Consider, for instance, a researcher who has hypothesized that viewing violent behavior will cause increased aggressive play in children

Why can an animal survive longer without food?
AnnyKZ [126]
It depends on the type of animal, but if, for example, you're talking about one lower on the energy pyramid (like a chicken, for example) then this is because of the energy distribution. When an animal consumes something else, it absorbs about 10 percent of the energy of that creature. 

So, lets say a plant has 1000 units of energy. Then a bug comes along, and eats the plant, absorbing 100 units (10 percent) of that energy. Then, a chicken eats the bug, absorbing only 10 units of that energy. Finally, a human eats the chicken, getting only 1 unit of the original energy. 

The reason that something like a bug has to eat less than a human, is because it gets more energy directly from the plant.
