Students have asked these similar questions
Why does the use of tanning beds also increase the incidence of skin cancer?
Why do statistics show that skin cancer fatality rates are higher among African Americans than other ethnic groups?
Can an epidemiologist who finds a correlation between the use of tanning beds and melanoma (an aggressive form of skin cancer) in college-age women conclude that tanning beds cause skin cancer?
Yes, as long as the correlation was statistically significant.
No, because correlation is not proof of causation.
Yes, but only melanoma skin cancer, not other forms of skin cancer.
No, because the correlation would have to hold with males and females and in different age groups.
Yes, but only for college-age women.
