AssociationA study was conducted to determine whether the amount of time

students spend practicing concepts on the computer is associated with their math score on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS). Computer time and ITBS math score was recorded on students at three schools.

Results• Overall, the association between computer time and math score

was negative.• Within each school, the association between computer time and

math score was positive.

Given the results of this study, what can you conclude?

a) The association between computer time and math score is the result of a cause and effect relationship.

b) Variables with a strong curved relationship can have a correlation of zero.

c) Simpson’s paradox is present.
