Which of the following statements concerning correlation analysis is not true? A. A researcher may claim that one variable influences another if test results are significant. B. A researcher may claim that variables are related to each other if test results are significant. C. A researcher may claim that one variable causes another to occur if test results are significant. D. A researcher may claim that one variable can predict the outcome of another if test results are significant. Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

In correlation, variables are related to each other.

Option B is correct.

When two or more sets of data are linked together, they have a high correlation.

Data sets have a positive correlation when they increase together, and a negative correlation when one set increases as the other decreases.

Correlation refers to the degree of correspondence or relationship between two variables. Correlated variables tend to change together.
