Much has been written about the relationship between students’ SAT test scores and their family’s income. Generally speaking, there is a strong positive correlation between income and SAT scores. Consider and discuss the following questions as you respond:

•   What does this correlation tell you?
•   Is this correlation evidence that having a high family income causes one to have high SAT scores?
•   Is this correlation evidence that high SAT scores are a cause of higher income? Or, does this tell you
something else? Explain your answer.
•   Explain why correlation alone is rarely sufficient to demonstrate cause.
