Summary:
- The website "Spurious Correlations" demonstrates how seemingly related statistics can be coincidental and not actually causally linked.
- The website presents various graphs showing high correlations between unrelated variables, such as the number of people who drowned by falling into a swimming pool and the number of films Nicolas Cage appeared in.
- These examples illustrate how correlation does not imply causation, and that just because two variables appear related, it does not mean one causes the other.
