By definition it can be seen that linear correlation analysis is a statistical techniques use in the measurement of causation, direction, degree and significance cof co-variation between two or more variables. The conclusion cigarettes cause the pulse rate to increase is not valid because linear correlation tells us the strength of the relationship. Correlation does not imply a casual relation. Where a causal relation says that if one variable increases it causes to increase the other variable as an effect. It means we cannot say which variable is the cause if there is a significant linear correlation exists between two variables. Linear correlation always depicts the strength of the relationship between two variables but it never depicts the casual relationship between two variables. Suppose if there is a positive linear relationship between height and weight we cannot say that height causes weight to increase or decrease and similarly weight causes height to increase or decrease. The conclusion from a linear correlation between two variables is that they are related to each other, but not that one causes the other. In given case as it conveys there is a casual relationship exists is not accepted because of the fact of casual relationship between cigarettes smoking and pulse rate. Contrary to casual relation, the linear relationship between two variables describes the power/strength of relation between cigarette smoked and pulse rate. In other words, correlation does not imply causation. To prove a causal relationship, further analysis is required. For valid linear correlation between two variable required the mutual influence of each variable on other so that there can be arise a relationship between two variables of cause and effect. Like there is a correlation between demand and supply (Pagano, 1981). Where demand can cause to increase or decrease the supply as an effect. So, for check valid correlation relation between cigarette smoking and increasing pulse rate, it should be determined that there exists a relation and if it exists then establish the cause and effect relation if any. But as we conclude that there does not occur such cause and effect relation so it is not valid.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
