AbstractThe concept of correlation arises in Unit 3 of General Mathematics in the Australian Curriculum (ACARA, 2010-present). University students will meet the topic in applied statistics subjects in courses on business, psychology, research methods as well as in mathematical subjects on probability and statistics. When students are introduced to the coefficient of correlation, the teacher is likely to point out that correlation does not imply causation. A discussion of examples in which two random variables have a strong correlation but no obvious causal relation may ensue. The purpose of this multidisciplinary paper is to examine the relationship between correlation and causation more closely than might be done in statistics classes by considering the work of the eighteenth-century Scottish philosopher David Hume and its impact on the world of ideas. In this article, the authors discuss the distinction between correlation and causation based on the work of David Hume. They provide a short summary of Hume's life, followed by activities to enrich lessons on correlation, in school or university. (ERIC).
