Use the following scenario to answer the question(s) below. You are a scientist doing research for U.S. Fish and Wildlife on the effect of fox predators on snowshoe hares. Park rangers have noticed fewer snowshoe hares in areas where foxes are more abundant. You set up two areas in the boreal forest with a fence that will allow the hares to get in but will keep out foxes, and two areas the same size that are marked but not fenced in. You count the number of snowshoe hares surviving after one year. Your study will provide which type of results? Group of answer choices control observational correlation cause-and-effect

Respuesta :

Answer:

cause-and-effect

Explanation:

Research shown in the question above will provide results that will allow us to conclude whether a larger number of foxes causes a decrease in the population of snowshoe hares, or whether a decrease in the population of foxes promotes an increase in the population of snowshoe hares. In other words, we can conclude that the experiment will provide cause and effect data, since the number of foxes in an environment (cause) causes effects on the snowshoe hares population.
