This is known as an <u>"illusory"</u> correlation.


Illusory correlation is an essential idea in psychology. An illusory correlation is a conviction that two things are related at the point when there is no genuine affiliation.  

A false affiliation might be framed in light of the fact that uncommon or novel events are more notable and in this way tend to catch one's attention.This is one way stereotypes form and endure. Hamilton and Rose (1980) found that generalizations can lead individuals to expect certain gatherings and attributes to fit together, and after that to overestimate the recurrence with which these correlations really happen.

Is the response to the survey question "Did you smoke in the last week question mark "response to the survey question "Did you s
Natali [406]

Answer:

The response to the question is a discrete random variable.

Explanation:

By definition of a discrete random variable we infer that the response can only take certain known values  but the response shall be completely random. As an example when we toss a fair coin the out comes are discrete as only either head or tail is possible and the outcome is random meaning we cannot predict the outcome before hand.

Similarly an continuous random variable takes any value in a set and there are infinitely many possible values it can take. For example if we choose any real number between 1 and 10. Since the answers are infinitely many in number and are completely random.

Now in our survey we can infer that the responses shall be either "yes I smoked last week" or "No i didn't smoke last week". Hence the variables are discrete and random.

This is called corpus callosum, or callosal commissure.
It is a part of your brain which connects the left with the right hemisphere and affects your entire body as well. Given that the left hemisphere controls the right part of your body (and vice versa), this is all done thanks to the corpus callosum in your brain.
