Scientists plotted data for two animal populations on a scatter plot: population A, which they graphed along the $x$ -axis, and population B, which they graphed along the $y$ -axis. The data showed a strong negative correlation. Which of the following statements is justified? 1. The rise in population A caused the decline in population B. 2. The decline in population $B$ caused the rise in population $A$. 3. Because the correlation is negative, there cannot be causation between the two populations. 4. The rise in population $A$ is correlated to the decline in population $B$, but causation is unknown.
