If you’re asking what the phrase “correlation doesn’t equal causation” means, it means that just because two things are correlated doesn’t mean they caused one another.
So like, if a decrease in newspaper sales happened the same year the name Emma became a popular girl’s name, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the two are related or caused each other. You’d be drawing too hasty of a conclusion and more thorough research would have to be done to understand the phenomena.
