📊 Correlation Confusion

Just Because Two Things Happen Together...

GENO
GENO says: Welcome to Correlation Confusion! This is the #1 statistical error people make. Just because two things happen together doesn't mean one causes the other. Ice cream sales and drownings both increase in summer—but ice cream doesn't cause drowning!
📊 Correlation vs Causation

• Correlation: Two things happen together (ice cream sales ↑ = drownings ↑)

• Causation: One thing actually CAUSES the other

• Hidden variable: A third factor causes both (hot weather!)

• Coincidence: Sometimes correlations are pure chance

Remember: Correlation does NOT equal causation!
