According to the spurious correlations website (https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations), there is a 0.985065 correlation from 2000 to 2009 between revenue from arcade games and the number of computer science doctorates awarded in the United States. Assuming this correlation reflects a real cause–effect relationship, what is a possible link between these two factors?


This is complete nonsense and should be ignored.



Kids who play lots of arcade games all go on to study computer science.



People who go on to get their degrees in computer science are attracted to computer-based games.



Arcades give discounts to PhD students.
