QuestionCorrelation does not prove causation. Choose the correct option: A. does not prove B. proves C. complicates D. disproves
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are dealing with a multiple choice question about the relationship between correlation and causation.
STEP 2
The statement "Correlation alone causation" is incomplete and needs to be completed with one of the given options.
STEP 3
We know from statistical theory that correlation, which measures the relationship between two variables, does not necessarily imply that changes in one variable cause changes in the other. This is a fundamental concept in statistics.
STEP 4
Therefore, the correct completion of the statement is "Correlation alone does not prove causation".
The answer is A. "does not prove".
