Question

Tyler gather data and notices that the number of crimes in Glendale and the number of students enrolled in schools have a strong positive correlation tell a proposes closing down schools as a solution to reduce or illuminate crime in Glendale what do you recommend to the Glendale city Council

Answer 1

Answer:

The fact that the number of crimes and the population of students is positively correlated, means that as the total number of students increases, so does the total number of crimes.

The conclusion that closing schools will decrease crime is absurd. First of all, the variables might be totally unrelated, e.g. places with large number of students are places that have high populations. Higher crime rate are generally linked to neighborhoods or cities with high populations.

The idea of closing schools to fight crime is foolish because it will result in the opposite. Generally, students who go to school tend to be less engaged in criminal activities. The real problem here is that you should try to increase the number of students that attend schools in Glendale, not vice versa.
