DIRECTION: Answer the question based on the information given. If highways were restricted to cars and only those trucks with capacity of less than 8 tons, most of the truck traffic would be forced to run outside highways. Such a reduction in the amount of truck traffic would reduce the risk of collisions on highways. Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion drawn in the second sentence?Choices:- Highways are experiencing overcrowded traffic mainly because of sharp increases in car traffic Many drivers of trucks would rather buy trucks with a capacity of less than 8 tons than be excluded from highways. The number of collisions that occur near highways has reduced in recent years Trucks that have a capacity of more than 8 tons cause a disproportionately large number of collisions on highways

A local city council’s study found that the correlation between number of liquor stores in a neighborhood and neighborhood crime rates across all city neighborhoods was r = 0.88.Which one of the following statements is true? As the number of liquor stores increase the crime rate will increase in that neighborhood. Closing liquor stores in a neighborhood will help to reduce the crime rate of that neighborhood. There is a pretty strong positive linear relationship between number of liquor stores and crime rates. Population is a possible lurking variable in this scenario, since areas that are more densely populated are more likely to have higher crime rates.
