A tutor shows you a scatter plot of hours of TV watched per week
versus students' GPA, which shows a negative association: more
TV watching tends to go with a lower GPA. In 1-2 sentences,
explain why this scatter plot alone does not prove that watching
TV causes a lower GPA, and name one other factor that might
explain the pattern.
