Question

Two Statistical Questions!

Answer 1

Now if someone could help, I'd be set :)

Answer 2

@Hero

Answer 3

What do you not understand about number 1?

Answer 4

It's tricky.

Answer 5

I'm thinking B or D

Answer 6

Okay why B and why D?

Answer 7

I'm choosing B because it said he actually gets rashes from his backyard. But in the question, it says nothing about sap on the plant. Which is why I'm leaning to B

Answer 8

So you're saying by picking b that if he ate those same berries in someone else's backyard he wouldn't get them?

Answer 9

It's possible.

Answer 10

He could have an allergy.

Answer 11

Are you reading B carefully?

Answer 12

It is not a logical answer.

Answer 13

I guess I'm not reading it carefully enough then. Would D become the correct answer?

Answer 14

That is a possiblity.

Answer 15

I agree with what you said earlier, the question mentions nothing about Sap. I would say the answer is neither B or D.

Answer 16

D is still a possibility though. Because C is exactly the same. It says nothing about a digestive problem .

Answer 17

After reading it a few times I believe D to be the most logical answer.

Answer 18

It makes sense.

Answer 19

What about you, @aum , what do you think?

Answer 20

I am inclined to think B.

If the statement in C and D are facts, then they are causation and not correlation.

Whenever Jack eats white berries from his backyard he gets rashes. So there is a correlation.

Jack gets rashes ONLY when he eats white berries picked from his backyard. I don't interpret that as Jack not getting rashes when he eats berries from elsewhere. Maybe his backyard has apple trees and walnut trees. He does not get rashes when he eats those. Only when he eats berries he gets rashes. So there is a correlation.

Answer 21

Hm.

Answer 22

I think I'll go with your answer

Answer 23

Can you help on me the second question, please?

Answer 24

You prove a good point with the hidden fact that their could be other fruit in the yard.
