What is positive correlation?

Two variables change in the same direction, both becoming either larger or smaller

Positive correlation refers to a relationship between two variables in which they move in opposite directions.

Positive correlation means there is no relationship between two variables.

Positive correlation indicates a causal relationship between two variables.

What is negative correlation?

Two variables change in different directions, with one becoming larger as the other becomes smaller; a negative correlation is not the same thing as no correlation

Negative correlation means the variables move in the same direction

Negative correlation implies a weak relationship between variables

Negative correlation indicates a positive linear relationship

What is a cause-and-effect relationship?
