Exploring Correlation Concepts

The video tutorial introduces the concept of correlation, explaining the relationships between variables, including positive, negative, and no correlation. It covers linear and nonlinear data, the strength of correlation, and the role of outliers. The correlation coefficient is discussed, with a focus on its range and interpretation. A practical example is provided to demonstrate how to calculate correlation using a scatter plot and linear regression.

What is the term used to describe the relationship between two variables?

• Regression

• Correlation
