Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Two variables may be associated without a causal relationship. For example, there is a statistical association between the number of people who drowned by falling into a pool and the number of films Nicolas Cage appeared in in a given year. However, there is obviously no causal relationship.

I don't know if it would help but you can try
