Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Correlation does not necessarily imply causation. Just because two variables are correlated, it does not mean that one causes the other or vice versa. Other factors may be involved in the relationship. A causal relationship can only be established through experimentation or a thorough investigation of confounding factors. Quantification, experimentation, standardization, and covariation are all aspects of correlation.
