Question 12 1 pts

Is the following conclusion drawn after finding that there is a significant correlation between annual personal income and years of education true?

Conclusion: More education causes a person’s income to rise.

 The conclusion cannot be drawn because correlation does not necessary implies causality.
 The conclusion is correct since the correlation is significant.
 The conclusion is incorrect; Instead we should conclude that annual personal income increases more years of education.
