The standard answer is that a positive statistical correlation, no matter how strong, never proves anything about the causal relationship. Technically, correlations are symmetric and so the evidence is identical whether you imagine that A causes B or B causes A.
Another problem is that you could have an omitted third factor C which explains both A and B. A correlation between A and B never rules out the possibility of C influencing them both.
What you can sometimes say more realistically is that a strong correlation might make a proposed causal explanation more plausible. It might be evidence as part of an argument, but it's not sufficient by itself.
Other parts of the argument could be exclusion of other factors (through experiments or statistical controls) and logical precedence. For example, if you had evidence that women are smarter than men, it doesn't seem likely that smartness causes gender. Similarly, events from the future don't influence events of the past; thus establishing the time sequence might also help to build a causal explanation.
In short, there are few if any obvious causal relationships based on correlation alone if you want to use rigorous methods. Experiments and replication of results under diverse circumstances are the best way to show a causal relationship.
Correlation only establishes the fact that the two variables in question change together - either one increases as the other decreases or they both increase together. It is possible that changes in the first cause changes in the second, or that changes in the second cause changes in the first, or that there is some third variable that is causing changes in both. For example, consider an infant and measure its height and vocabulary from age 2 to age 8. In normal circumstances these two variables (height and number of words he or she knows) increase together. But that does not mean that either of these factors causes the other. The obvious culprit here is time or age. Another possible, but less important factor may be nutrition. Whatever! The main point is greater height does not increase the child's vocabulary not does an increased vocabulary increase its height.
3y + 7 = 25 would be an example of an equation. In this simple example, we first move the real numbers to one side, by subtracting 7 from both sides. 3y = 18. From this t is obvious that y = 6. and to finish, we try that solution. (3 x 6) + 7 = 25. Indeed it is so.
Yes, be it a common convex quadrilateral or a concave quadrilateral. For a convex quadrilateral, the most obvious example is a irregular trapezium, where the upper base and the lower base are of different length, and the slanted sides are of different length. It is similar for a concave quadrilateral.
Yes, it is the adverb form of the adjective obvious (plain, evident).
A logarithm is an exponent.Assume 1 ≠ a > 0 and x > 0Definition of Logarithmic Function with base a:y = logax ↔ ay = xln(ay) = ln x = y ln ay = ln x/ln aDefinite logax = ln x/ln aProperties:The domain of f is all positive real numbers.The range of f is all positive real numbers.f(1) = 0f is an increasing function when a > 1 and decreasing if 0 < a < 1. From the definition of logarithm, it's obvious thatf(x) = logax and f(x) = ax are inverse functions.
You can describe if there's any obvious correlation (like a positive or negative correlation), apparent outliers, and the corrlation coefficient, which is the "r" on your calculator when you do a regression model. The closer "r" is to either -1 or 1, the stronger that correlation is.
Of course not. It is quite obvious that this is a superstition - looking for a correlation where the correlation doesn't make any sense.
In statistics, correlation measures how strong the relationship is between two entities. A correlation of 1.0 means that the two move in perfect tandem with each other. A correlation of zero means that the relationship between them is totally random. A negative correlation, unusual in the investing world, means that they move in opposite directions. In investing, low correlation means that different asset types have not performed in the same way: When returns on some asset types were declining, returns on others were declining less, or indeed gaining. For investors, this diversification has obvious benefits: If poor performance in one investment can be offset by better (or even good) performance in another, extreme losses in an overall portfolio will be rarer than otherwise, and the capital will grow more in the long run.
No
Predation
+7, it is obvious.
The positive degree is the adjective itself, for example English "good". The irregularity only comes in with the comparative "better" and superlative "best", as opposed to good, gooder, goodest. Back-forming the positive from the comparative or superlative is not obvious, obviously, because it is irregular.
An obvious question gets an obvious answer ! because they want to have a sexual relationship with them.
The family
Something plainly obvious , or no attempt at hiding it .
Ok
uggly names they hate eachother its obvious.
