The Concept of Correlation Versus Causation

For the Unit 5 discussion, you will expand your working knowledge of Excel and explore the concept of correlation versus causation. You will use Excel to complete this discussion post.
You may choose one of the following data sets from your text, the data set you found in the Unit 2 or 4 discussion, or you may create your own data set when you create a scatter plot to analyze. Remember, your data set needs to include two quantitative variables. If you create your own, be sure to use a minimum of 10 data pairs. Be certain that when you create your own data that you share in detail what you chose as your variables, your quantitative data, and where you found the data.
PLEASE NOTE: If you choose a data set listed below, you are not following the directions in the textbook for any of these sections, you are just using the data sets. Use the instructions in this discussion board to create and analyze your scatter plot.
