Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A study shows that people who read regularly tend to have a larger vocabulary. What can be inferred from this?
  • Step 1: Understand the study's finding that people who read regularly have larger vocabularies.
  • Step 2: Recognize that this means there is a relationship between reading and vocabulary size.
  • Step 3: Note that correlation does not mean causation; just because two things are related does not mean one causes the other.
  • Step 4: Conclude that while reading may help improve vocabulary, the study does not prove that reading directly increases vocabulary.
  • Correlation vs. Causation – The distinction between two variables being related (correlation) and one causing the other (causation).
  • Inference – Drawing conclusions based on evidence, while recognizing the limitations of what can be inferred.
