(a) Do you expect the correlation between these variables to be positive or negative? Explain your choice. O A. The correlation should be positive, because higher temperatures in winter mean more snow and thus more need for four-wheel drive. O B. The correlation should be negative, because lower temperatures in winter mean more snow and thus more need for four-wheel drive. O C. The correlation should be positive, because higher temperatures in winter mean more snow and thus less need for four-wheel drive. O D.
