One study showed that for a recent period of 11 years, there was a strong correlation (or association) between the numbers of people who drowned in swimming pool and the amounts of power generated by nuclear power plants (based on data from the centers for disease control and prevention and the department of energy). does this imply that increasing power from nuclear power plants is the cause of more deaths in swimming pools? why or why not?

    This statement does imply that there is a correlation between increasing power from nuclear power plants and drowning deaths in swimming pools. However, the logic is faulty. The reason a correlation exists is through random coincidence. It is completely feasible that the number of drowning deaths increased due to the number of pool ownership increasing. So the study may show a correlation, but is false due to inconsistent logic and missing data.
