AI explanation

As the number of Associates degrees awarded in Culinary, entertainment, and personal services decreased, there were fewer aspiring chefs, performers, and spa technicians entering the workforce. This led to a shortage of job opportunities in these fields. With limited chances to showcase their talents, many individuals turned to a life of crime. Unable to flambe, juggle, or give a relaxing massage for a living, some resorted to a different kind of "entertainment" by attempting to rob people. It seems the only thing they were dishing out were not Michelin-star meals or Oscar-worthy performances, but rather, a half-baked attempt at thievery. So, as the saying goes, when the job market for aspiring chefs and entertainers soufflés, it's no wonder that the crime rate got a little more "seasoned" and the number of robberies decreased. It truly was a case of too many crooks spoiling the broth - or perhaps, not enough cooks spoiling the heist!

Introduction

The pursuit of education is often regarded as a pathway to personal and professional advancement, a realm where individuals hone their skills and broaden their horizons. However, as traditional as this may sound, the intersection between educational attainments and criminal activities has long piqued the curiosity of scholars and law enforcement agencies alike. In this study, we delve into the peculiar realm of Associates degrees in culinary, entertainment, and personal services as they relate to the occurrence of robberies. While the average observer may find it a bit hard to swallow, our investigation aims to uncover any hidden flavors in this seemingly unconventional pairing.

The culinary, entertainment, and personal services industries are vibrant and diverse, encompassing a wide array of skills and talents, from whipping up delectable dishes to captivating audiences with showmanship. While one might argue that such fields are a cut above the rest in terms of artistic expression and personal grooming, what remains less clear is their connection, if any, to criminal activities such as robberies. As we embark on this study, we are acutely aware of the potential for unexpected findings to spice up the academic discourse. However, we maintain our commitment to rigorous analysis, seeking to separate the sizzle from the steak, so to speak, and uncover any substantive link between the issuance of Associates degrees in these fields and patterns of theft and unlawful entry.

Drawing on data from the National Center for Education Statistics and the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services, our research team embarked on a thorough examination of trends over the past decade, carefully sifting through the numbers in search of any compelling evidence. Admittedly, as we delved into this study, the inherent juxtaposition of haute cuisine and high-stakes crime did not escape our attention, prompting more than a few raised eyebrows and amused chuckles. However, beneath the surface, our statistical analysis revealed a near-perfect correlation coefficient of 0.9508822 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01, leaving no doubts about the strength of the relationship between these seemingly disparate realms.

The implications of our findings extend beyond the mere findings themselves. In pondering the arguably tantalizing link between these degrees and incidents of robbery, we are prompted to consider the potential underlying factors at play. Indeed, the prospect of unraveling the complex tapestry that intertwines education, opportunity, and criminal behavior is one that both captivates and challenges us. Could it be that a flair for the dramatic in entertainment translates into a predisposition for high-risk activities? Or perhaps, the pursuit of culinary excellence presents individuals with a taste for adrenaline and thrill-seeking? In any case, our study invites further inquiry and exploration into the underlying mechanisms that drive these correlations.

We present these findings with a blend of curiosity and responsibility, acutely aware of the potential impact they may have on academic discussions and practical considerations. There is no denying the potential for our research to serve as a catalyst for future investigations, igniting a flame of curiosity that could illuminate new avenues of understanding. From the lighthearted contemplation of culinary-inspired crime prevention strategies to the more sobering reflections on educational pathways and social dynamics, we hope that our findings spur thought-provoking conversations and contribute to a more thorough comprehension of these curious and unexpected connections. In the end, while we cannot help but savor the somewhat unexpected flavors of this endeavor, we approach our task with the staunch commitment of academic rigor, endeavoring to produce a body of work that is as intellectually nourishing as it is engaging.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The pursuit of identifying connections between educational pursuits and criminal activities has sparked the interest of scholars and law enforcement agencies for decades. Such endeavors often aim to illuminate the subtle relationships that underpin societal dynamics, shedding light on unexpected patterns and correlations. In the context of the culinary, entertainment, and personal services industries, the issuance of Associates degrees in these fields raises intriguing questions about the potential intersections with criminal behavior. As we delve into the literature, we endeavor to uncover any tantalizing hints, simmering beneath the surface, that might reveal an unexpected recipe for understanding this seemingly unorthodox coupling.

In "Culinary Conundrums: Exploring the Nexus of Food and Felonies," Smith et al. examine the curious link between culinary education and criminality, postulating that a penchant for haute cuisine may be accompanied by a taste for high-risk activities. While such musings may initially seem far-fetched, the authors present compelling qualitative evidence to suggest that individuals immersed in the world of culinary arts may be predisposed to seek thrills beyond the kitchen. This, of course, raises amusing yet thought-provoking questions about whether a love for gourmet cooking might also translate into an affinity for daring escapades.

Expanding beyond the realms of non-fiction academic literature, the impactful work of "The Showstopper's Dilemma: Unraveling the Mysteries of Entertainment Education and Illicit Activities" by Doe offers an in-depth exploration of the link between entertainment-related educational pursuits and criminal behavior. Drawing on the narrative of performers and entertainers, the author speculates on the potential influence of showmanship on one's propensity for engaging in unlawful activities. The vivid imagery of magicians pulling off grand illusions is juxtaposed with the clandestine world of theft and deception, urging readers to reconsider the boundaries between the spotlight and the shadows.

As we navigate further into the uncharted territories of academic inquiry, it is crucial to acknowledge that inspiration can often be found in unexpected places. While the literary landscape is replete with non-fiction works offering insights into the nuances of criminal behavior, it would be remiss not to draw upon the captivating narratives of fictional works that, albeit indirectly, touch upon the themes of culinary, entertainment, and personal services. In "The Heist at Le Cordon Bleu," a gripping tale of culinary intrigue and clandestine operations, the authors deftly weave together the seemingly disparate worlds of fine dining and felonious undertakings, inviting readers to consider the allure of culinary expertise in the realm of high-stakes theft.

In a surprising turn of events, board games such as "Mastermind" and "Clue" offer their own brand of inspiration, prompting contemplation of strategic thinking and calculated risk-taking in the context of criminal activities. While these sources may at first seem disconnected from the academic discourse at hand, their subtle influence underscores the multifaceted nature of our investigation, urging us to embrace unconventional sources of insight as we unravel the complexities of the relationship between educational pursuits and criminal propensities.

For this research study, we employed a comprehensive and multifaceted methodology to examine the potential relationship between the awarding of Associates degrees in culinary, entertainment, and personal services and the frequency of robberies. Our approach combined quantitative analysis of data from the National Center for Education Statistics and the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services, with a touch of whimsy and a pinch of skepticism thrown in for good measure.

First, we tickled our taste buds with datasets spanning the years 2011 to 2021, encompassing a breadth of information on the issuance of these specialized degrees and the occurrences of robberies across different geographical regions. To ensure the robustness of our analysis, we concocted a potent blend of statistical techniques, including correlation analysis and multiple regression models. Just like a seasoned chef mixing ingredients for a perfect dish, we combined these analytical tools to uncover any flavorful associations hidden within the data.

Our data collection efforts involved scouring numerous online repositories and databases, as well as conducting intricate web searches that led us down some unexpected rabbit holes. From sifting through educational institution records to harvesting crime statistics, our team left no stone unturned in our quest for relevant and reliable information. Admittedly, there were moments when the sheer volume of data made us feel like we were drowning in a sea of numbers, but our resolve remained steadfast, buoyed by the promise of uncovering the unexpected.

Once we had amassed our treasure trove of data, we rolled up our sleeves and dived into the world of statistical analysis. Employing sophisticated software tools, we teased apart the intricate relationships between the issuance of Associates degrees in the specified fields and the occurrences of robberies. It was a bit like peeling back the layers of an onion, each statistical test revealing a new dimension of the underlying connections. As our hypotheses simmered in the statistical cauldron, we meticulously monitored the results, straining out any spurious correlations and keeping a watchful eye for any data outliers that might have tried to sneak into our analysis undetected.

Our approach also considered the geographic nuances inherent in our data, recognizing that the culinary, entertainment, and personal services industries may manifest different dynamics in distinct regions. We sliced and diced our datasets to account for variations in educational attainment and crime rates across different states and metropolitan areas, acknowledging that the flavors of these industries might interact with the local socio-economic climate in unique ways. It was a bit like conducting a culinary tour of the nation, sampling different dishes in each locale and noting how the local ingredients influenced the overall taste.

To ensure the reliability and validity of our findings, we adhered to rigorous principles of research ethics and methodological transparency. We took care to document our analytical procedures in scrupulous detail, akin to a meticulous recipe book, allowing for the replication of our study and the evaluation of our methodology by fellow researchers. After all, just as a recipe should be replicable to achieve consistent results, our methodology sought to uphold the standards of verifiability and scientific rigor.

In summary, our methodology blended meticulous data collection, robust statistical analysis, and a hint of academic whimsy, as we ventured into the intriguing terrain where educational pursuits intersect with criminal behaviors. Our approach, though infused with occasional levity, remained steadfastly committed to unraveling the mysteries that lie at the juncture of these seemingly disparate domains, underlining our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of academic inquiry.

In this study, we delve into the peculiar realm of Associates degrees in culinary, entertainment, and personal services as they relate to the occurrence of robberies. While the average observer may find it a bit hard to swallow, our investigation aims to uncover any hidden flavors in this seemingly unconventional pairing.
The culinary, entertainment, and personal services industries are vibrant and diverse, encompassing a wide array of skills and talents, from whipping up delectable dishes to captivating audiences with showmanship. While one might argue that such fields are a cut above the rest in terms of artistic expression and personal grooming, what remains less clear is their connection, if any, to criminal activities such as robberies. As we embark on this study, we are acutely aware of the potential for unexpected findings to spice up the academic discourse. However, we maintain our commitment to rigorous analysis, seeking to separate the sizzle from the steak, so to speak, and uncover any substantive link between the issuance of Associates degrees in these fields and patterns of theft and unlawful entry.
Drawing on data from the National Center for Education Statistics and the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services, our research team embarked on a thorough examination of trends over the past decade, carefully sifting through the numbers in search of any compelling evidence. Admittedly, as we delved into this study, the inherent juxtaposition of haute cuisine and high-stakes crime did not escape our attention, prompting more than a few raised eyebrows and amused chuckles. However, beneath the surface, our statistical analysis revealed a near-perfect correlation coefficient of 0.9508822 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01, leaving no doubts about the strength of the relationship between these seemingly disparate realms.
The implications of our findings extend beyond the mere findings themselves. In pondering the arguably tantalizing link between these degrees and incidents of robbery, we are prompted to consider the potential underlying factors at play. Indeed, the prospect of unraveling the complex tapestry that intertwines education, opportunity, and criminal behavior is one that both captivates and challenges us. Could it be that a flair for the dramatic in entertainment translates into a predisposition for high-risk activities? Or perhaps, the pursuit of culinary excellence presents individuals with a taste for adrenaline and thrill-seeking? In any case, our study invites further inquiry and exploration into the underlying mechanisms that drive these correlations.
We present these findings with a blend of curiosity and responsibility, acutely aware of the potential impact they may have on academic discussions and practical considerations. There is no denying the potential for our research to serve as a catalyst for future investigations, igniting a flame of curiosity that could illuminate new avenues of understanding. From the lighthearted contemplation of culinary-inspired crime prevention strategies to the more sobering reflections on educational pathways and social dynamics, we hope that our findings spur thought-provoking conversations and contribute to a more thorough comprehension of these curious and unexpected connections. In the end, while we cannot help but savor the somewhat unexpected flavors of this endeavor, we approach our task with the staunch commitment of academic rigor, endeavoring to produce a body of work that is as intellectually nourishing as it is engaging.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The pursuit of identifying connections between educational pursuits and criminal activities has sparked the interest of scholars and law enforcement agencies for decades. Such endeavors often aim to illuminate the subtle relationships that underpin societal dynamics, shedding light on unexpected patterns and correlations. In the context of the culinary, entertainment, and personal services industries, the issuance of Associates degrees in these fields raises intriguing questions about the potential intersections with criminal behavior. As we delve into the literature, we endeavor to uncover any tantalizing hints, simmering beneath the surface, that might reveal an unexpected recipe for understanding this seemingly unorthodox coupling.
In "Culinary Conundrums: Exploring the Nexus of Food and Felonies," Smith et al. examine the curious link between culinary education and criminality, postulating that a penchant for haute cuisine may be accompanied by a taste for high-risk activities. While such musings may initially seem far-fetched, the authors present compelling qualitative evidence to suggest that individuals immersed in the world of culinary arts may be predisposed to seek thrills beyond the kitchen. This, of course, raises amusing yet thought-provoking questions about whether a love for gourmet cooking might also translate into an affinity for daring escapades.
Expanding beyond the realms of non-fiction academic literature, the impactful work of "The Showstopper's Dilemma: Unraveling the Mysteries of Entertainment Education and Illicit Activities" by Doe offers an in-depth exploration of the link between entertainment-related educational pursuits and criminal behavior. Drawing on the narrative of performers and entertainers, the author speculates on the potential influence of showmanship on one's propensity for engaging in unlawful activities. The vivid imagery of magicians pulling off grand illusions is juxtaposed with the clandestine world of theft and deception, urging readers to reconsider the boundaries between the spotlight and the shadows.
As we navigate further into the uncharted territories of academic inquiry, it is crucial to acknowledge that inspiration can often be found in unexpected places. While the literary landscape is replete with non-fiction works offering insights into the nuances of criminal behavior, it would be remiss not to draw upon the captivating narratives of fictional works that, albeit indirectly, touch upon the themes of culinary, entertainment, and personal services. In "The Heist at Le Cordon Bleu," a gripping tale of culinary intrigue and clandestine operations, the authors deftly weave together the seemingly disparate worlds of fine dining and felonious undertakings, inviting readers to consider the allure of culinary expertise in the realm of high-stakes theft.
In a surprising turn of events, board games such as "Mastermind" and "Clue" offer their own brand of inspiration, prompting contemplation of strategic thinking and calculated risk-taking in the context of criminal activities. While these sources may at first seem disconnected from the academic discourse at hand, their subtle influence underscores the multifaceted nature of our investigation, urging us to embrace unconventional sources of insight as we unravel the complexities of the relationship between educational pursuits and criminal propensities.

See what else correlates with Robberies in the US

Correlation r = 0.9508822 (Pearson correlation coefficient)
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.

r2 = 0.9041769 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 90.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Robberies in the US) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Culinary Associates degrees awarded) over the 11 years from 2011 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 7.03E-6. 0.0000070333815673119880000000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.

But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.

Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.95 in 0.000703% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 142,179 random variables You don't actually need 142 thousand variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 10 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 10 because we have two variables measured over a period of 11 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.

[ 0.82, 0.99 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.

This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!


All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.

Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works

  1. Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
  2. Lack of causal connection: There is probably Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
    no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied.
  3. Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
    p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.

Reuseable content

You may re-use the images on this page for any purpose, even commercial purposes, without asking for permission. The only requirement is that you attribute Tyler Vigen. Attribution can take many different forms. If you leave the "tylervigen.com" link in the image, that satisfies it just fine. If you remove it and move it to a footnote, that's fine too. You can also just write "Charts courtesy of Tyler Vigen" at the bottom of an article.

You do not need to attribute "the spurious correlations website," and you don't even need to link here if you don't want to. I don't gain anything from pageviews. There are no ads on this site, there is nothing for sale, and I am not for hire.

For the record, I am just one person. Tyler Vigen, he/him/his. I do have degrees, but they should not go after my name unless you want to annoy my wife. If that is your goal, then go ahead and cite me as "Tyler Vigen, A.A. A.A.S. B.A. J.D." Otherwise it is just "Tyler Vigen."

When spoken, my last name is pronounced "vegan," like I don't eat meat.
