Question

correlation measures direction and causation or relationship among variables - true or false​

Answer 1

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Correlation coefficients are measures of association between two (or more) variables.

Answer 2

In Statistics,Correlation measures the direction and strength of numerical or statistical relationship between variables,but not the causation between them.Hence,the given statement is false.

Explanation:

In Statistics,correlation ideally shows the strength and direction of numerical or statistical association or relationship between two statistical variables.However,it does not automatically imply that one variable causes or attributes to the other.For example,correlation between the climatic features of a place and the tourism development of that place implies only the direction and strength of the statistical association between the concerned variables.However,it will not establish any causation between the variables or examine whether climatic conditions of any particular place drives or deters the development of tourism activities there.There are many other evident factors that might contribute to the local tourism development which are not registered by the correlation method of estimation.
