Question

Michael surveyed the basketball team and found a positive correlation of r=0.12 between students missing games due to acaemic probation and spikes in the teams scoring average. He concluded that students with poor grades did not score as many points as those with good grades, and the students with poor grades caused the team to score fewer points while on the court. Micahel does not have a good argument because the info he used shows ______ positive correlation, which does not imply __________

Answer 1

In the question, Michael's survey yielded a correlation of r = 0.12 which is a weak positive correlation. Because the correlation is a weak correlation, he can not conclude that students with poor grades did not score as many points as those with good grades, and the students with poor grades caused the team to score fewer points while on the court.
Therefore, Michael does not have a good argument because the info he used shows a weak positive correlation, which does not imply causation.
