Pearson's correlation coefficient, also known as the product moment correlation coefficient (PMCC), and denoted by r, is a measure of linear agreement between two random variable. It can take any value from -1 to +1. +1 indicates a perfect positive linear relationship between the two variables, a value of 0 implies no linear relationship whereas a value of -1 shows a perfect negative linear relationship. A low (or 0) correlation does not imply that the variables are unrelated: it simply means a there is no linear relationship: a symmetric relationship will give a very low or zero value for r.
The browser which we are compelled to use is not suited for any serious mathematical answer and I suggest that you look up Wikipedia for the formula to calculate r.

What are sophisticated mathematical processes that could be used in Mathematical Studies Project work according to the IBO?
chi squared test, pearsons correlation coefficient etc
Is 1.5 a correlation coefficient?
No, it cannot be a correlation coefficient.
Is -0.0001 a correlation coefficient?
Yes it can be a correlation coefficient.
What is a Correlation coefficient of 0.00457?
Evidence that there is no correlation.
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.

Is -0.0001 a correlation coefficient?
Yes it can be a correlation coefficient.
Is 1.5 a correlation coefficient?
No, it cannot be a correlation coefficient.
Is 0.5 the strongest correlation coefficient?
No. The strongest correlation coefficient is +1 (positive correlation) and -1 (negative correlation).
What are the properties of correlation coefficient?
The correlation coefficient is symmetrical with respect to X and Y i.e.The correlation coefficient is the geometric mean of the two regression coefficients. or .The correlation coefficient lies between -1 and 1. i.e. .
What is the correlation coefficient of -2?
A serious error. The maximum magnitude for a correlation coefficient is 1.The Correlation coefficient is lies between -1 to 1 if it is 0 mean there is no correlation between them. Here they are given less than -1 value so it is not a value of correlation coefficient.
What is the feasible range for r the correlation coefficient?
the correlation coefficient range is -1 to +1
What is a Correlation coefficient of 0.00457?
Evidence that there is no correlation.
Is the Correlation Coefficient of 35 strong?
The correlation coefficient must lie between -1 and +1 and so a correlation coefficient of 35 is a strong indication of a calculation error. If you meant 0.35, then it is a weak correlation.
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.

How is coefficient of determination and coefficient of correlation is related?
coefficient of determination
