    Association used to study asubject when using an experiment that is impossible or unethical

    Explanation
    Correlation is a statistical measure that shows the relationship between two variables. In this context, when it is not possible or ethical to conduct an experiment to study a subject, researchers often rely on correlation to analyze the association between variables. Correlation allows them to examine if there is a consistent pattern or relationship between the variables without manipulating them directly. This approach is particularly useful when it is not feasible or ethical to manipulate variables in an experiment.

It provides a high-level understanding of the system's structure, behavior, and interactions. This model helps to simplify complex ideas and allows stakeholders to visualize and communicate the system's concept and design. It serves as a foundation for further development and can be used to guide decision-making and problem-solving processes.
