Mr. brown has gathered evidence that students' self-esteem is negatively correlated with their typical levels of anxiety. before he uses this evidence to conclude that self-esteem reduces anxiety, mr. brown should be reminded that: correlation does not prove causation. people often exaggerate the extent to which others share their opinions. random sequences of events often do not look random. events often seem more probable in hindsight.

Mr. Brown should first be reminded that  "correlation does not prove causation."

"Correlation does not imply causation" is an expression utilized in measurements to stress that a connection between's two factors does not suggest that one causes the other. Many statistical tests figure relationship between's factors. A couple go further, utilizing connection as a reason for testing a speculation of a genuine causal relationship; cases are the Granger causality test and focalized cross mapping.  

The counter-presumption, that "Correlation demonstrates causation," is viewed as a questionable reason coherent misrepresentation in that two occasions happening together are taken to have a cause-and-effect relationship.
