, Question
True or False: The more mangoes you eat, the more rashes you get.
Well done! You got it right.
True
False
Answer Explanation
Correct answer:
False
Many things can cause an increase or decrease in rashes: diet, exercise, hormones,
medication, etc. There are too many other confounding variables that it can not be
determined that Mango's are the cause of a rash.
Understand the difference between correlation and causation
Question
Suppose that a large controlled experiment tests whether caffeine improves
reaction times. A very large number of randomly selected participants are
randomly given identical-seeming pills with varying doses of caffeine (including
none) and then given tests of reaction times under the same conditions. The
experiment finds a strong negative correlation between caffeine dose and reaction
time. (Note that lower reaction times are better.)
Identify what can be concluded based on this information.
