5 0

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by analyzing if the event causes the result. If it does not, then there is correlation but not necessarily causation

A. Event: Rainfall. Result: Water level rises

Does rainfall cause an increase in water level? Yes, so this is incorrect

B. Event: Temperature increase. Result: Ice melting

Does an increase in temperature cause ice to melt faster? Yes, so this is incorrect

C. Event: More people have vision loss. Result: Hearing aids sales increase

Does more people having vision loss cause hearing aids sales to increase? No, vision loss does not cause a need for hearing aids -- hearing loss would, but vision loss does not. This is correct

D. Event: A student makes fewer mistakes. Result: A better grade

Do fewer mistakes cause better grades? Yes, so this is incorrect

On Day 4 Temperature is = -7.5 + -2.5 = -10 degrees

On Day 5 Temperature is = -10 + -2.5 = -12.5 degrees

On Day 6 Temperature is = -12.5 + -2.5 = -15 degrees

On Day 7 Temperature is = -15 + -2.5 = -17.5 degrees

So, Option D -17.5 degrees is correct answer.
