Correlation by itself is understood not to be sufficient to conclude causation. That two variables change together in a highly correlated way could mean that changes in both variables are being controlled or caused by something altogether different that has not yet come to light or that has not been considered as the cause.
both have connections between multiple events
Biostatistics is the branch of statistics responsible for the proper interpretation of scientific data generated in biology, public health and other health sciences. Biostatistics is particularly concerned with disentangling different sources of variation and seeks to distinguish between correlation and causation.
It is a measure of the strength of a linear relationship between one dependent variable and one or more explanatory variables.It is very important to recognise that a high level of correlation does not imply causation. Also, it does not provide information on non-linear relationships.
A strong positive correlation does not prove causation. People only get sunburned during daylight hours. Sundials only work during daylight hours. Therefore sundials cause sunburns. The above sentences show how absurd such predicate thinking could be. Simply because two events usually occur at the same time does not mean they are related. One man found a perfect correlation between the price of whiskey and Chicago school teachers' salaries. No possible relationship could possibly exist except the rate of prosperity and inflation. Causation is difficult to prove.
A serious error. The maximum magnitude for a correlation coefficient is 1.The Correlation coefficient is lies between -1 to 1 if it is 0 mean there is no correlation between them. Here they are given less than -1 value so it is not a value of correlation coefficient.
Correlation and causation.
Correlation is when two things are related or have similar properties and they can exist independently. Causation means that one thing made the other thing happen.
correlation implies the cause and effect relationship,, but casuality doesn't imply correlation.

Correlation and causation.
Correlation is a statistical measure of the linear association between two variables. It is important to remember that correlation does not mean causation and also that the absence of correlation does not mean the two variables are unrelated.
Causation
Correlation means that two events are related. Causation means that one event caused another event to happen. Correlation isn't the same as causation.
