Final answer:

Correlation does not imply causation. An example of both correlation and causation likely occurring is the relationship between a person's IQ and their running speed.


Explanation:

Correlation indicates a relationship between two variables but does not imply causation. To establish causation, one variable must directly affect the other. An example of a situation where both correlation and causation are likely is the relationship between a person's IQ and the time it takes the person to run 50 meters. Higher IQ could potentially lead to better problem-solving skills that impact running speed.
