What are some examples of positive correlations in education?

Answer:

Example of positive correlation:

The longer you walk, the further you go (unless you are on a treadmill).

The more food you eat, the more calories you ingest.

Income and education are positively correlated, meaning that income and education are related, but correlation does not prove that one factor causes the other. It just means there is a relationship.

When the moon is full, the crazies come out. The moon is not causing the crazies to come out, no more than the crazies are causing the moon to come out, but when you ask a mental health worker, an emergency room nurse, or a police officer, they will tell you that there appears to be a relationship.
