Question

Here is a correlation, does it also represent causation? Explain you answer.

Answer 1

Yes, there is causation between the two given variables, as the weight is related at some point with the amount of calories consumed.

What does correlation and causation mean?

For two variables x and y, we say that there is causation when, if we modify one of the variables, the other changes in response.

Correlation just means that the variables are related in some way (maybe both have a causation relationship with the same other variable)

So causation implies correlation.

Correlation does not imply causation.

In this case, we have the example:

x = The number of additional calories consumed

y =  amount of weight gained.

Clearly, we have causation between x and y as larger is the value of x, larger will be the value of x.-
