For this week's online activity, please watch the following video from Khan Academy about causation and correlation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROpbdO-gRUo
After you watch the video, I'd like you to do two things.First, I'd like you to provide another reason (in addition to the ones provided in the video) why one of the relationships in the WedMD articlemight only amount to correlation, not causation.Second, I'd like you to provide your own example of correlation without causation (it could be anything), and provide a reason why the correlation might hold. For example, you might note that good grades in high school correlate with - but don't necessarily cause -good grades in college. And one reason why the correlation might hold is that the same things - being smart and working hard - cause both good grades in college and good grades in high school.
