Late one night while flipping through the latest issue of Bad Science, you read a report from a
researcher claiming he has proved that watching television causes attention-deficit disorder in
children.
He based his claim on data showing a significant positive correlation between the

A) Because the correlation was positive, his claim that TV causes attention-deficit disorder is

B) He might have shown a relationship between TV and attention-deficit disorder, but he
cannot say one caused the other
C) Because the correlation was significant, his claim that TV causes attention-deficit disorder
is valid
D) You know darn well I don't read science magazines late at night, or any time for that
