What type of correlation would be expected between distance run and calories burned? Would this relationship be causal?

As the distance run increases, calories burned generally increase too, so the relationship is a positive correlation. The distance is also causally related to calories burned: running farther requires more energy and therefore burns more calories, assuming other factors such as body weight and pace are similar. The correct choice is “positive correlation, causal.”
