MAT 540 Week 2 Discussion 2 Correlation and Causation
Read the information in Chapter 3 of your text on correlation and causation and Example 6 titled “Spurious Correlation by Lurking Variables”. This describes an observed correlation that may be caused by the influence of a third variable. Describe and cite a study where the correlation may be spurious. Alternately, you may choose to create and describe your own study where the observed correlation may be influenced by a third variable. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts.
