So here's my assignment for you.
Go online and check old news articles and find me one that takes data that show a correlation
and from the data suggests causation or differently it tells what you what to do.
I argue with the news is full of this abuses of statistics and we will talk later about
how to set up a study to avoid this trap, but in your assignment if you find an article that has this
property extract that text and post it to the discussion forum.
I will be monitoring and comment on those and I want all of us to enjoy what kind of hilarious
funny misinterpretations of statistics you can find that people confuse correlation and causation
So go ahead and find me interesting articles. Thank you!
