Study Notes
Correlation vs. Causation
- Correlation: A relationship where a change in one variable coincides with a change in another (e.g., smoking and increased movie attendance).
- Causation: Indicates one variable directly affects another (e.g., smoking causing lung cancer).
Per Capita Definition
- "Per capita" translates to "per person"; useful in analyzing statistics, such as crime rates.
- Example: 1,000 murders in a population of 100,000 results in a rate of 10 murders per 1,000 people.
