Does correlation consider diminishing returns? For example, PTs and LSAT scores, at some point, taking more PTs will give you diminishing returns. Will this be something that is considered on the LSAT?
I thought it was really helpful to see that correlation could allow for exceptions to happen. Just because A is positively correlated to B does not mean that it wont allow for instances where A is not positively correlated to B
so grateful I took advanced stats in uni because this is so easy, if u have the chance to and are still in undergrad I cannot recommend enough taking stats
Hiii, I love learning helpful stuff. I'm a Poli sci major, and an Econ minor; so in what ways do you think advanced stats would be beneficial? I've never taken stats and the thought of it makes me anxious lol. I was planning on taking applied Calc this fall instead for my minor.
Research methods class has a lot to do with negative and positive correlations. The class is basically a statistics class that teaches how to write papers based on statistics.
I am also a poli major (graduated last year) and had to take a lower-level stats class and a higher-level stats class to graduate. I found the information we learned to be super helpful for the LSAT.
Statisitcs is very helpful because the whole class is about correlation, causation, and probability. It might be a little difficult but it is very beneficial here and in real life!
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the friends-LSAT score correlation is closer to 0 then it is to -1 (I have hope for us to be able to have friends and have high LSAT scores, just think of all the friends we're meeting on 7sage!)

sweett! i have zero friends, so my chances of having a higher lsat score will be higher. :)
is it a good rule of thumb to think of there's at least 3 possibilities with correlation
for example, the
more likely you smoke cigarettes the more likely you are to get cancer.
There are smokers who never get cancer
there are also nonsmokers who do get cancer
I'm just trying to train my brain to automatically think like this so i can tackle these questions
Finally, a benefit to having majored in psychology
Praying the correlation of less friends and higher LSAT score can apply to me lol

fml time to drop some of my friends
This sounds like math positive and negative correlation is the same as direct or inverse relationships.
So what I gathered from this is to rail practice tests until my frontal lobe bleeds. Hell yeah

I have no friends
Same. Here is to 180
So you're saying if I have no friends I could possibly get a 180?!
was gonna say, 180 here i come lol

Nice one
Trauma bond
Being a veteran, trauma bonds are often some of the tightest there are lol
The fewer friends you have, the higher your LSAT score. The most comforting knowledge I learned this year
at least now I know it's normal 😂😅
