Answer 1

Solution:

The meaning of strong Correlation is that the value of correlation coefficient is near to 1.

As, the statement is, there was a strong correlation between the number of radios and the number of people in the insane asylum.

it means most of the people in the asylum are addicted to Radio.

So, people in asylum are associated with radio the cause being their illness.

So, correct option satisfying strong positive correlation is : Option (B) Association and Causation

Answer 2

To me, this is an example of both association and causation.
These scientists associated the number of radios with the number of people in the insane asylum. At the same time, it is implied that the increased number of radios led to the number of people in the asylum.
