Divorce rates vary from city to city in the United States. We have lots of data on many U.S. cities. Statistical software makes it easy to perform dozens of significance tests on dozens of variables to see which ones best predict divorce. One interesting finding is that those cities with Major League ballparks tend to have significantly more divorces than other cities. To improve your chances of a lasting marriage, should you use this “significant” variable to decide where to live? Explain your answer.

Statistical tests are used to tell stories from data. However, they lack the scientific backing which might be used to establish a cause-and-effect theory. Hence, the 'significant' variable should not be used to decide where to live.

The presence of lurking or confounding variables are capable of causing spurious relationships between variables.

Major League ball parks seems to be prone to more social activities and nightlife which might lead to possible discourse between couples.

Hence, the 'significant' variable should not be used to decide where to live.
