When the evidence indicates that two events are related by nothing more than chance, we call that relationship random. The other choices have specific meanings. Causal means one event causes another. Deterministic means that events are determined by previous causes or by an unchanging destiny. Correlational means that two events are related to each other (either positively or negatively), but not necessarily causally. Purposeful means that an event had a specific intended outcome or goal.
