Answer: b. False
Explanation:
The term " correlation" defines the nature of the relationship between the two quantities.
The term "causation" defines the effect of one variable one the other.
They both are used to analyse the relationship between variables such that
Presence of causation implies there is correlation between variables but correlation does not imply causation.
So, correlation coefficient (r) has nothing to do with the cause.
That means having a good correlation of r = 0.71 between the time spent playing video games each week and grade point average for a group of high school boys doesn't imply that playing video games causes students to get lower grades.
Hence, the given statement is False.
