The video tutorial explains the concept of correlation, focusing on bivariate data, which involves two variables. It discusses how scatter plots can be used to visualize relationships between variables, identifying linear and non-linear associations. The tutorial also covers the identification of outliers and clustering within data. Examples are provided to illustrate positive, negative, and no correlation between variables, such as the relationship between earthquake magnitude and damage cost, altitude and temperature, and adult height and cell phone bill cost.
