Answer: confusing correlation with causation

Explanation:

what does correlation mean?

Correlation means statistic techniques are linear related and can change in the same way but it does not explain anything about the relationship between the two and it doesn't even mean that there is a relationship between the two there exist just an association between the two.

Causation on the other hands means two variables have a relationship in such that when one variable changes it will have an effect on the other variable, there is an explainable and observable links that shows visible connection between the two.

People with enlarged brain were associated with violence but there is no investigated proof that the enlarged brains are actual the cause for people to be violent it is just a correlation.
