Answer #1

No

Causation takes a step further than correlation. It says any change in the value of one variable will cause a change in the value of another variable, which means one variable makes other to happen. It is also referred as cause and effect.

Hidden factor may be mood.( If he has good mood he usually eats breakfast and then having a good day as well)

It may be possibe that mood is correlated to breakfast and good day and both are not directly correlated.

Please revert back in case of any doubt.
