Correlation & Causation

Example A: ice cream sales and shark attack frequency are stronglycorrelated.

Example B: strong correlation exists between the number of cavities in elementary school children and their vocabulary size.

Comment on A: This is not because sharks start attacking in response to ice cream, but because the two variables exhibit a common response to the warm season.

Comment on B: No one advocates eating more candy to increaseknowledge though - these variables are both tied with age.
