*"I examined the statistics for our basketball team's wins last year and found that, when the third team played more, the winning margin increased. If the coach played the third team more, we would win by a bigger margin." Evaluate this statement.
Explanation
According to the statistics, whenever the third team played, the chances of winning increased. However, this does not mean that every time the third team plays, it will win too. It is likely that a huge lead at the end of the game caused the third team to play more. Hence, association cannot be said to be causation.
