Question

Analyze the following statement:

Marcus notices that he runs faster in the mornings rather than the evenings.

Is the statement an example of correlation or causation?

Correlation, because time of day doesn't cause a person to run faster or slower
Causation, because Marcus has noticed this over several trials
No relationship, because time of day has nothing to do with how fast a person runs
There is not enough information to make a conclusion

Answer 2

Correlation
A measure of the strength of linear association between two variables.
Always between −1.0 and +1.0.
Can be positive or negative.
Causation
Is a demonstrable cause and effect.
Can be measured by controlled studies.
Should not be assumed even when correlation is strong and predictable.

That is correlation and causation.
