We can assume that there is a causal connection between two things if a correlation can be found between them.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


False

That two things can be correlated does not show that they bear any relationship to each other at all. Such correlations are often simply coincidences. For instance, a correlation between an increase in the sale of ice cream in North Carolina and the number of violent crimes in California does not show that the increase in ice cream sales in one part of the country was responsible for an increase in violent crime in another part of the country.
