Question: 1. Politics. A candidate for office claims that there is a correlation between television watching and crime. Criticize this statement on statistical grounds.
2. Car thefts. The National Insurance Crime Bureau reports that Honda Accords, Honda Civics, and Toyota Camrys are the cars most frequently reported stolen, while Ford Tauruses, Pontiac Vibes, and Buick LeSabres are stolen least often. Is it reasonable to say that there's a correlation between the type of car you own and the risk that it will be stolen?
