The High Point Police Department awards speeding tickets to people who drive red cars 15 times more often than any other car color. Based only on this data, a college professor argues that the color red itself actually makes drivers of red cars drive faster, which explains why they get more tickets. Using the same data the professor used, evaluate her argument. Which of the following most adequately describes the professor's argument?
a. The professor's reasoning is good, because the color red is causing drivers of red cars to drive much faster than drivers of cars with other colors.
b. The professor's reasoning is good, because High Point police officers profile and target people who drive red cars.
c. The professor's reasoning is bad, because the color red is likely to be causing drivers of red cars to drive much faster than other drivers of cars with other colors.
d. The professor's reasoning is bad, because the professor has mistaken a correlation between the color red and drivers who receive speeding tickets with the color red actually causing people to drive faster.
