Question

Researcher Sandy Beach found a correlation coefficient of +2.3 between variables X and Y. She is thrilled because that correlation is "like, way high." She also feels that this answer "proves that X is 'like, causing Y.'" What are three problems with Sandyâs conclusions?

Answer 1

I can only name 1 at the moment, and it would be that there is no correlation coefficient above +1.00.
