Determining Cause or Correlation: Computer-Based Maths Module Interactive classroom activity that studies cause vs correlation. Covers dependent and independent variables and behaviour, dependence, correlation, cause and the misuse of data.
Knowing how one variable affects another is important in many instances in real life, from medical diagnoses to environmental impacts or financial trends. In this CBM Computational Thinking module, you will learn about dependent connections between variables, the possible cause(s) for such dependencies and how these are often misused in the media to make claims that are incorrect—particularly about how adopting one behaviour can cause something positive or negative to happen.
