I am trying to determine if I am going the right direction, more so than wanting someone just to answer the question.  Here is the question;

Define association in statistics. Explain how association is identified and demonstrated.

My answer  
Association is a commonality between two variables demonstrated by a shared value.  Association is often indentified mathematically by plotting variables on a graph, when variables share a point it can be said they are associated.  Association can also be demonstrated through plotting.  Real world association can be defined when two variables share a common factor.  Such as January and snow, they are associated because they both occur during the same time of year but one does not cause the other. 

Am I heading the right way with this?</description>
