Abstract
Let the positive correlations be observed among the test scores for physics, chemistry, and biology. In order to investigate the causal relationships among the three variables, we can use the path analysis from the previous chapter. For example, we can evaluate the model in which a person’s ability in physics influences his/her scores in chemistry and biology; ability in physics is a cause, while the scores in chemistry and biology are the results.
