Question
What do you understand by 'spurious' or 'non-sense' correlation?
✓

Answer

If there is no evident or sensible connection between two variables, then the correlation between these variables is said to be spurious, non-sense or chance correlation. For example correlation between rainfall recorded and production of steel. These two variables are not connected by any way. So, the correlation between these variables is said to be spurious.
