Correlation
Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.
Linear Correlation
A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.
Regression Analysis
Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as p…

Answer to Problem 47UP

False.

Explanation of Solution

It is given that if the null hypothesis is rejected then there is a causal relationship between the two categorical variables.

In chi-square test of independence the hypotheses are given below:

H0: The two variables are independent to each other.

Ha: The two variables are dependent to each other.

Here, if the null hypothesis is rejected then it can be said that the two variables are dependent.

If in a relationship, the occurrence of the 1st variable causes the 2nd variable, it can be said that there is a causal relationship between the two variables.

Therefore, it is clear that if two variables are dependent, that does not imply about causal relationship between the two variables.

Therefore, the statement is false.
