Is there negative correlation between weight and distance walked on an average day?

That's a question that can only really be answered via a study. Take a random sample of people (from your school for example) and plot their weight against their average daily walking distance (you may have to make your subjects carry a pedometer during the study period). Do you see a negative relationship on the graph?
As a second step, calculate the correlation coefficient. As negative correlation gets stronger the correlation coefficient will get closer to -1.

What is the difference between positve and negative correlation?
Positive correlation has a positive slope and negative correlation has a negative slope.
Is there a negative correlation between the need for thiamine and amount of fat in the diet?
Yes
What does a correlation coefficient of zero indicates?
A coefficient of zero means there is no correlation between two variables. A coefficient of -1 indicates strong negative correlation, while +1 suggests strong positive correlation.
If variables have a negative association then is this correlation less than negative 1 Or between negative 1 and 0 Or between 0 and 1 Or just greater than 1?
Between -1 and 0.
What are the relationships of a graph?
I think you're referring to Correlation. This means the relationship between two variables. There can be a positive correlation, where as one variable increases, so does the other. There can be a negative correlation, where as one variable increases, the other decreases. Lastly, there can be no correlation, where there is no relationship between the two variables.
Is the relationship between distance and force in Newton's law of universal gravitation a negative correlation?
No. "Negative correlation" means no relationship can be found between the two quantities. But in the case of the gravitational force, there is a definite, bullet-proof, mathematical connection between the distance and the force. Since a greater distance leads to a smaller force, the relationship is said to be "inverse", but the correlation is definitely not "negative".
What is the difference between positve and negative correlation?
Positive correlation has a positive slope and negative correlation has a negative slope.
A negative correlation was found between weight and distance walked?
If these were weights of people then it suggests that the heavier the people the shorter the distance they were willing (or able!) to walk.
Correlation between exam score and amount of time spent on the exam is an example of?
negative correlation
If grade point average rises as number of hours watching television falls the correlation between GPA and TV viewing is?
Negative
What is the maximum and minimum value of the correlation coefficient?
The correlation can be anything between +1 (strong positive correlation), passing through zero (no correlation), to -1 (strong negative correlation).
Is there a positive correlation a negative correlation or no correlation between daily newspaper circution and the number of television sets in homes?
I would assume a negative correlation. More TV sets per home = less newspaper circulation.
What shows a correlation which may be positive or negative between two sets of data?
I believe you are asking how to identify a positive or negative correlation between two variables, for which you have data. I'll call these variables x and y. Of course, you can always calculate the correlation coefficient, but you can see the correlation from a graph. An x-y graph that shows a positive trend (slope positive) indicates a positive correlation. An x-y graph that shows a negative trend (slope negative) indicates a negative correlation.
What does it mean if two variables have a negative correlation?
A positive correlation between two variables, say X and Y, means that if one increases, the other will too. No correlation means that they are not related. A negative correlation means that as one increases, the other decreases. Normally you will see this in studies as "Recent studies demonstrated a positive correlation between eating too much and obesity." Or, "recent studies demonstrate a negative correlation between a healthy, balanced diet and obesity".
There is between the variables Day and Tech Stock Value?
negative correlation
Difference between positive and negative correlation?
If the two variables increase together and decrease together AND in a linear fashion, the correlation is positive. If one increases when the other decreases, again, in a linear fashion, the correlation is negative.
