11. If “correlation does not imply causation,” what does it
imply?
12. What are some of the possible reasons for large correlations
between a pair of variables, X and Y?
17.What assumptions are required for a correlation to be a valid
description of the relation between X and Y?
Debate the following statement: "Correlation means Causation."
Determine whether this statement is true or false, and provide
reasoning for your determination, using the Possible Relationships
Between Variables table
Debate the following statement: "Correlation means
Causation." Determine whether this statement is true or false, and
provide reasoning for your determination, using a Possible
Relationships Between Variables table if one is available.
1. True / False
a.) An Observational study is sufficient to claim
causation. True or False?
b.) The interquartile range is an accurate measurement
of dispersion for skewed data sets. True or false?
c.) Variance is a measure of central tendency. True or
False?
d.) One can find the mode of any data set. True or
False?
e.) The mean is an accurate measurement of central
tendency for skewed data sets. True or false?
2. Outline how to...
Anyone who has studied statistics or research has heard the
saying "Correlation does not imply causation." What factors must an
analyst consider to decide whether the correlation is meaningful
enough to investigate further?
To what extent is the statement, “Correlation does mean
Causation.” true, and to what extent is it misleading? Give
examples with your response?

1. True or False: A correlation of 1.0 implies a perfect
positive correlation.
2. True or False: The fact that two variables are correlated
does not mean that one causes the other.
3. True or False: The value of the correlation (r) between X and
Y does not change if all values of X are multiplied by 100.
4. True or False: The Covariance between two variables has a
range from -1.0 to 1.0.
5. True or False: A correlation...
