1.6.A1: The correlation between smoking and incidence of cancers.
Objectives:
- Explain the use of correlations to determine the relationship between two variables (inclusive of positive and negative correlations).
- Explain why the existence of a correlation does not necessitate a causal relationship between two variables.
- Calculate a correlation coefficient using Pearson's R.
- Determine if a correlation coefficient value is significant.
- Define significant as related to the relationship between two variables.
- Use epidemiological case study information to outline the relationships between smoking and cancer.
