Answer 1

Based on the correlation coefficient between sodium and the calories in the meal, we can say that there is a strong positive correlation, and it is not likely causal.

What do correlation coefficients tell us?

Correlation coefficients are used to show the strength of a correlation between two variables. They go from -1 to 1 and the closer to figure is to 1, the stronger the correlation between the two.

If the figure is close to 1 (instead of -1) as is the case here it means that there is a positive correlation.

Correlation however, does not mean causation which is why there is a strong positive correlation between Sodium and calories with a coefficient of 0.74, but its likely that this isn't causal.
