- Give an example of variables that have correlation but no causation exists? Explain why these variables have correlation. Could there be a lurking variable that these variables are both tied to/or do you think this correlation was caused by p-hacking? [2-3 sentence or a graph] You may NOT use the ice cream/crime example AND you may not copy information verbatim from websites. You may look at https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/36/examples-for-teaching-correlation-does-not-mean-causation for examples but you need to (at a minimum) put what you find in your own words and explain what the true cause of the relationship is. In the ice cream/crime example it was found that in a particular city that when ice cream consumption went up so did petty crime (stealing/larceny). The true cause was that it was summer and it was hot (and kids didn't have school to keep them busy). How do we decide if the correlation coefficient is close enough to ±±1 to declare that there is…arrow_forwardQuestion in image.arrow_forwardA blue whale has a length of 28,578 millimeters. what is the length of a blue whale in kilometers?

- A group collected data in an experiment to learn to draw suitable trendline in a graph. They don't know the theoretical model, so they are trying to determine one through this experiment. They used Excel to display the data and to find good fit. They tried linear, exponential, and power trendlines. The result of each trial is shown below. The title of the plot contains the name of the trendline used to fit. What should be their analysis based on the result they have so far?
