VCCCTR036
Investigate the difference between a description, an explanation and a correlation and scepticism about cause and effect
Elaborations
-
identifying reasons for possible scepticism about cause and effect such as a sample size that is too small or an exaggerated claim, for example, a marketing claim that someone’s relationship success is due to one particular product
-
examining maps to identify spatial patterns and discussing why a mere association, for example between liveability indicators such as housing density and access to shopping centres or train stations, does not in itself show a particular cause and effect
