| There was a study done in Maine that related drinking with early deaths. In this study there were 8 counties studied. The correlation was 1.2. Given this information it would be safe to say: (i) Drinking is a definite cause of early deaths. (ii) Drinking does not necessarily cause early deaths. (iii) Not enough information is given to determine the cause. Which one of these statements are true? |
