In a correlational study, we seek to determine

If the IV causes an outcome in the DV.

Which variable is the cause and which variable is the effect.

The direction of causation.

How well one variable predicts another variable.

	a.	If the IV causes an outcome in the DV.
	b.	Which variable is the cause and which variable is the effect.
	c.	The direction of causation.
	d.	How well one variable predicts another variable.

If the correlation exists, then the prediction is possible. So, the correct option is (d).
