Question

There can be both positive and negative correlations between variables that are statistically significant enough to validate causation.

	True
	False

Symmetrical data results in descriptive statistics that demonstrate little variance

	True
	False

Answer 1

There can be both positive and negative correlations between variables that are statistically significant enough to validate causation.

False.

There are two things that play a role in judging "causation": reasonability and experimental design, where the latter is the stronger.

However, correlation has nothing to do with causation.

2 Symmetrical data results in descriptive statistics that demonstrate little variance

False

A symmetric distribution is one where the left and right hand sides of the distribution are roughly equally balanced around the mean.

However, variance may vary.
