the positive correlation between the sales of water and the sales of orange juice at a store

Answer 1

The positive correlation between the number of sodas sold on a campus and the number of cans in the campus recycling bins.

Answer 2

The correlation that is most likely a causation is the positive correlation between the number of sodas sold on a campus and the number of cans in the campus recycling bins.

While the other scenarios may have variables with some relation to each other, in this scenario, we can see that if a campus sells more sodas, they would end up with more cans in the recycling bins; the cans would be caused by the soda sales.
