Wyatt recorded the number of ice cream cones sold (X) and the number of shark attacks (Y) on 60 different days in Peril Beach, FL. He found there were more shark attacks on days when more ice cream cones were sold. He therefore concluded that the X variable has a causal effect on the Y variable: specifically, he thinks eating ice cream causes humans to seem tastier to sharks, which increases the number of attacks. Wyatt could be correct...I guess. But maybe not. Suggest a different interpretation for the significant correlation that is based on the third variable problem. In your answer, explain what the third variable problem is in general, and then provide a reasonable interpretation of the data that is based on the third variable problem. A. The definition of "third variable problem" is: B. An interpretation of Wyatt's data based on the third variable problem is:
