Compare and contrast causation and correlation in a 200- to 300-word post. Explain whether each of the following may be classified as a causation or correlation. Justify your reasoning. Identify any possible lurking variables that may be present.
Wealthy people are thin. This is an example of correlation. It is a case where people associate being wealthy with having more healthy habbits. In my opinion it is just conjecture and personal opinion. Not fact based at all.
People with long hair do better on audio memory tests. This too is an example of correlation. As the leingth of ones hair has no baring at all on their audio memory skills. And again could be sumed up as a matter of opinion.
