UGC NET

Correlation and causation

Correlation means two measurements vary together. Causation means a change in one produces a change in the other. A third variable can produce an apparent relationship.

Worked example

Students who attend optional revision score higher. Prior motivation may influence both attendance and scores; attendance alone is not proven to cause the difference.

Try it yourself

Does a positive correlation prove the revision sessions caused higher marks?

Reveal the answer and reasoning

No. Consider selection effects, confounders, measurement and the study design.

Try your own answer before comparing it with the worked explanation. This optional check is not a grade or a saved course-completion record.
