Most highly successful entrepreneurs dropped out of college; therefore dropping out of college causes business success. The reasoning is most flawed because it:
Afails to define the word college
Btreats a correlation as if it were causation
Cdraws on too large a sample
Drelies only on expert opinion
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. treats a correlation as if it were causation
Shared traits among the successful do not show the trait caused success — a classic correlation/causation error.
