the positive correlation between the height of a person and the number of times a person bumps their head on a low ceiling

Positive correlation means that when one factor increases, the other factor also increases and vice versa.

Causation is a correlation wherein one factor is the main contributor of the other factor happening. In this case, the higher the height of a person is, the higher his chances of bumping his head on a low ceiling.
