A new big data study that works with digital footprints from baseball stadium

Question 9

A new big data study that works with digital footprints from baseball stadium cameras claims that watching baseball causes people to eat ice cream. Immediately, many things come to your mind of what could be wrong with this study. Which of the following are your concerns?

1 / 1 point

The sample might not be representative

This is a legitimate concern. Please revisit the lecture: Political Data-fusion & No-sampling

Summer might be a confounding variable

This is a legitimate concern. It might just be warm when baseball is on (which is during summer), and soccer or a swimming pool might work just as well. There might be nothing special with baseball. Please revisit the lecture: Correlation ≠ Causation

Eating ice could cause people to watch baseball

This is a legitimate concern. It might just be that people who like ice-cream get a craving for baseball. This would have to be checked. Please revisit the lecture: Correlation ≠ Causation

The study might not be replicated and might be a victim of the replication crisis

This is a legitimate concern. This is always a possibility. Please revisit the lecture: Glass of Red Wine Theorizing
