Full question
A recent study showed that women who lived near a freeway had an unusually high rate of rheumatoid arthritis. Sarah said, “They should move away from freeways.”
Select the correct fallacy in Sarah’s reasoning? (You may select more than one answer)
Pitfall 1: Conclusions from Small Samples unchecked
Pitfall 3: Conclusions from Rare Events checked
Pitfall 4: Poor Survey Methods checked
Pitfall 5: Assuming a Causal Link checked
Pitfall 6: Generalization to Individuals
Sarah is falling for Pitfalls 5 and 6. Just because a statistics can be associated with a trend does not mean causation. There must be concrete evidence to support cause snd effect and even if there were evidence to support cause and effect, extending the result about groups to an individual is not appropriate. You cannot just generslize an outvome without some form of evidence
