Welcome to my blog post on correlation and causation. For our latest scimatics project, we had to create survey questions that might have correlation and causation and then we sent it to lots of people. I worked on this project with Hannah and we created a google form about music. Here is the link to it, however your answers won’t be counted towards the results anymore.
To learn all about correlation and causation, we learned about different types of surveys and the difference between correlation and causation. Here are the notes I took on the different types of survey and correlation vs causation:
The competencies we studied in this project were Planning and conducting, Communicating and Representing, and Applying and Innovating.
Planning and conducting: Hannah and I learned all about Planning and Conducting while making the survey and sending it to people. We thought about which questions we hoped to find correlations and causations in, what kind of survey we wanted to do, and what our questions would be focused on. We also decided to do our survey in a Google Form so we don’t mess up any results. We decided that the main focus of our survey was going to be music. Hannah and I wanted to see if the genre of music you listen to the most effected whether you’re self-conscious of your music taste and also if the platform you listen to music on effected how long you listen to music daily.
Communicating and Representing: I believe that we used this competency well in our Keynote presentation (pictured below)
We made our results clear and effective for showing correlation and causation within our Google Form results.
Applying and Innovating: I believe that I used this competency well, as all our survey questions were well thought out and we made sure to be respectful by keeping the survey anonymous.

The Driving Question: How Are Correlation and Causation Different?
The definition of causation is the relationship between two variables where one variable causes a change in another variable. The definition of correlation is a mutual relationship or connection between two or more things without one thing causing another.
Thank you for reading my blog post!
Sincerely,
