Question 465244: Hello, I do not understand this question at all. I do not really understand Statistics at all honestly. If you could help me I would greatly appreciate it! :) Thank you!
Why can we not draw causal conclusions based on correlations among variables? In other words, explain why the phrase, “Correlation does not imply causation” is true. Identify an example from real life (i.e., work, politics, family life) where there is an apparent relationship between two behaviors and discuss the possible explanations for that relationship.
