If a scientist finds that there is a correlation between the independent and dependent variables, then the relationship is considered:

A. a causation
B. a tail response
C. a direct effect
D. indirect

1 answer

The correct answer is A. a causation.

However, it's important to note that correlation does not imply causation. Just because two variables are correlated does not necessarily mean that one causes the other. Additional research is typically required to establish a causal relationship.
