Chapter 18 - Perparing for your exams 

Have you ever wondered if two things have a sort of relationship, like, &quot;Do older athletes run the 5000 meters faster than younger ones?&quot; 🤔 Well, here&#39;s how we can find out!

<ul>
	<li>Correlation: Tells if two things might be related (but doesn&#39;t say one causes the other!)</li>
	<li>Coefficient of Determination (r^2): A fancy way to see HOW MUCH they&#39;re related. It&#39;s like asking, &quot;Out of 100%, how much do these two things have in common?&quot;</li>
</ul>

Imagine two athletes: Tom, who&#39;s good at long jumps, and Jerry, who rocks at vertical jumps. If there&#39;s a correlation of 0.70 between their scores, the r^2 value is 0.70 * 0.70 = 0.49.

&nbsp;

Fun Fact: This 0.49 (or 49% when you multiply by 100) means that almost HALF of the reason Tom is good at long jumps could be related to why Jerry is ace at vertical jumps! 🤸

&nbsp;

Real-World Example: Let&#39;s say we find out there&#39;s an 80% (r^2) overlap between people who love pizza and people who love watching movies. But does this mean eating pizza makes you want to watch movies? Nope! It just means the two likes often go together. 🍕🎬

&nbsp;

💡 Important Takeaway: Just because two things are related doesn&#39;t mean one causes the other. Our athletes&#39; ages and their 5000-meter times might be related, but age doesn&rsquo;t necessarily make someone faster. It&rsquo;s like saying just because superheroes wear capes, capes make you a superhero. Fun thought, but not quite right! 🦸🚫

&nbsp;

Study Challenge: Can you think of two things in your life that might have a correlation, but one doesn&rsquo;t cause the other? Discuss with friends or think about it next time you&rsquo;re looking for patterns in the world around you!

&nbsp;

Happy Studying! 🌟📖🌟
