Compelling Correlations That Make Absolutely No Sense

Business Insider took a look at very unalike situations and how they related. It’s very known that correlation doesn't prove causation but it’s very hard to say this is just a fluke. Of the 6 situations they looked at they all had a very high correlation coefficients which means they had a strong correlation.


Although some of these could have underlying causes such as weather or geography it is interesting to see how they relate. There are many things you would never pin together that actually match very strongly. I'm really just wondering how they found out these things or found statistics that match up so well.
