A Graph: May be misleading Be scaled misleadingly May have incorrect data May show correlation – Not necessarily Causation. Questions to ask yourself Is it in “real” (inflation adjusted dollars)? Is it over the right time frame? What other data is related? What is causing what? Or is something else causing this to happen? Causality -- Police cause crime? The upward-sloping curve shows that cities with a higher concentration of police are more dangerous. Yet the graph does not tell us whether police cause crime or crime-plagued cities hire more police. 17 Graph with an Omitted Real Cause of Correlation The upward-sloping curve shows that members of households with more cigarette lighters are more likely to develop cancer. Yet we should not conclude that ownership of lighters causes cancer because the graph does not take into account the number of cigarettes smoked. 18
