Q6. To test whether a certain advertising campaign would work, an analytics team sorts their customer list from lowest to highest customer ID number, and then sends their advertisement to the first 1000 customers on the list. The rest of the customers did not receive any advertisements that week. When analyzing the results of the campaign one week later, the analytics team realized that there was a previously unknown pattern in the customer ID numbers: the lower the customer number, the longer the person had been a customer. Thus, the customers who received the advertisement were the individuals who had been customers with the company the longest. The analytics team decided the test was invalid and needed to be repeated. The reason for their decision was that analyzing the results in their current form would result in the following logical fallacy (or fallacies):

  • Over-generalization
  • Inferring causation from correlation
  • Lack of controls

At the advice of a consulting company, the hospital implemented a positive incentive system that would allow all employees to convert up to 24 hours of unused sick time into additional pay or more vacation days in order to reduce absenteeism. After 6 months of implementing the program, the hospital analysts calculated that absentee rates declined an average of 11.5 hours per employee, and concluded that the program was successful in this company.
