In this week’s resources you heard the absurd statement, “Increased ice cream consumption leads to more drownings.” While the events may be follow a similar trend or pattern, it doesn’t always mean that one event caused the other. Correlation does not always imply causation. Ice cream consumption and the number of people swimming may increase during hot weather, so these events may follow a similar pattern. However, it does imply that ice cream is a killer, leading to the cause of more deaths by drowning.
