What is correlation in statistics?

Back

Correlation measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. It can be positive, negative, or zero.

Front

What does a strong positive correlation indicate?

Back

A strong positive correlation indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable also tends to increase.

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise over run).

Front

What does a strong negative correlation indicate?

Back

A strong negative correlation indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease.

Front

What does it mean if there is no correlation between two variables?

Back

No correlation means there is no predictable relationship between the two variables; changes in one do not affect the other.
