We present an analysis of the relationship between coronal mass ejection (CME) events with solar flares and coronal holes. Out of 79 CME events whose location and span are known, 10 CME event circles contain solar flares. On the other hand out of 71 CME events (selected for the study with coronal holes) 40 CME event circles contain coronal holes. We have examined the above associations by calculating the Yule's coefficients of association and found that the CME events and solar flares are statistically not associated while CME events and coronal holes are statistically associated. This does not necessarily indicate that CMEs come from coronal holes as claimed by Hewish and Bravo (1986).
