Answer to Question 1

Answer: A sufficiently large sample is having enough observations or people in a study to
reliably detect an effect. This will help researchers to know that they have a statistically significant result.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: No, correlation doesn't equal causation. Correlation indicates that there is a relationship between two variables, but it does not indicate which variable causes the other or if a third, confounding variable is in play.
