Question

if two variables are correlated, a change in one must directly produce a change in the other. true false

Explanation:

Correlation does not imply causation. Just because two variables are correlated (show a relationship in their values), it doesn't mean that a change in one directly causes a change in the other. There could be a third - variable (confounding variable) that affects both, or the relationship could be coincidental.

Answer:

False
