Design a study that has a false correlation caused by lurking
variable.Error! Filename not specified.
The study I decided to present that has a false correlation
caused by a lurking variable is “The more you exercise, the
more pounds you will lose”. In this study, there are several
lurking variable options available. I am sure you can find one.
This chart reflects as hours of exercise increase, pounds lost
will increase as well with linear association.
“Correlation measures the strength between two quantitative
variables” (Sharpe et al., 2019, p. 111). There are three criteria
required for correlation: the data must be quantitative, linearity
condition or strength of the line (how straight the line is but the
analyst determines the acceptable level), and report any outliers
included in the data (Sharpe et al., 2019).
As discussed by Sharpe et al. (2019), “no matter how strong the
association, no matter how large the r, no matter how straight
the form, there is no way to conclude from high correlation
alone that one variable causes the other” (p. 115). This leads us
to a lurking variable or another data point other than x and y
that simultaneously affects both variables. In this case, what
data point could be introduced that would change the results of
increasing exercise will increase pounds lost?
I ran the data through a regression statistical model as well.
See charts below.

is almost perfect. This is also known as the coefficient of
determination representing how predictable the independent
variable is of the dependent variable.
Week 2 Reflective Journal
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapters 3 and
4 in Superforecasting.
The intent of the journal is to apply what you have learned to
how data analytics is applied in industry. After reading the
assigned chapters of Superforecasting this week, write a
reflective journal of the three most important take-aways

contained in the chapters. Your journal should be between two
to three pages excluding cover and reference page.

· Review Chapter 6 of the course textbook.
Jones was the attorney for the Town of Smithville. He filed a
defamation lawsuit against a newspaper that served the
Smithville area and against the writer of that newspaper’s Town
Crier column. Jones based his case on statements that appeared
in the column. The writer of the column referred to Jones as a
“political hatchet man” and as “one of the biggest powers
behind the throne in local government.” The writer also asserted
that “Jones pulls the strings” and raised the question whether
Jones was “leading Smithville to destruction.” What arguments
should the defendants make in an effort to avoid defamation

liability? Should Jones win his case? Your initial response
should be a minimum of 200 words.

Instructions
Prior to beginning work on this discussion,
· Review Chapter 5 of the course textbook.
· Review United States v. Hall, 47 F.3d 1091 (11th Cir. 1995).
In United States v. Hall, 47 F.3d 1091 (11th Cir. 1995), the
Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals discussed the difference
between a business and an individual’s reasonable expectation
of privacy in the area around their home or business (called the
curtilage). In Hall, a government agent seized a bag of shredded
documents from a dumpster located on the property of Bel-Air,
Inc. Hall filed a motion to suppress the evidence on the grounds
that the search and seizure was a violation of the Fourth
Amendment. Review United States v. Hall and discuss the
following:
· What was the Court of Appeal’s decision?
· Was the search and seizure a violation of the Fourth
Amendment? Why or why not?
· Would the result have been different if the dumpster was on
private property rather than on commercial property?
· Suppose you were an executive at Bel-Air. What
recommendations would you make to help Bel-Air assert an
expectation of privacy in the dumpster?
Your initial response should be a minimum of 200 words.
