Ben Goldacre raises some interesting points in his TED talk Battling Bad Science
Choose one (or more) of the correlational studies mentioned in Ben’s talk and answer the following question:
Using the course concepts on reinterpreting correlations, describe 3 ways that the relationship between the two variables in the study/studies could be reinterpreted (for example, you could describe what common causal variable could exist between the two correlated variables and how this would impact the nature of the relationship when the variable is present and absent). Be sure to provide enough detail in your response to illustrate your understanding of each course concept.
