Answer:

A scatter plot displays data about two variables as a set of points in the x y x y x y -plane and is a useful tool for determining if there is a correlation between the variables. Causation means that one event causes another event to occur. Causation can only be determined from an appropriately designed experiment.

Explanation:

Example: Correlation between Ice cream sales and sunglasses sold. ... Causation takes a step further than correlation. It says any change in the value of one variable will cause a change in the value of another variable, which means one variable makes other to happen. It is also referred as cause and effect.
