other (one goes down, so does
the other)
Describe the direction
of the variables in a
negative correlation
One goes up, the
other goes down
What is a correlation
coefficient?

strength and direction of the correlation
between two variables; + or – indicates
correlation direction; Closer to 1 the
more correlated; Perfect positive +1.0;
Perfect negative -1.0; Has to be between
-1 and 1; Closer to 0, the less correlation
