In a negative correlation as one factor is decreased, the other factor is increased.
A negative correlation means that two variables are inversely related. This means that as one variable increases the other decreases. When a negative correlation is plotted, it forms a downward slanting line.
A negative correlation highlights the similarity of opposites. In a negative correlation, as the value of variable a increases, the value of variable b decreases. It can work the other way too, as the value of a decreases, the value of b increases. A negative correlation is also routinely referred to as an inverse. For instance, every time a person goes to jail, there is one less person in the work force. Therefore, incarceration rates, and work force numbers have an inverse relationship.
There are three types of correlation: positive, negative, and none (no correlation).Positive Correlation: as one variable increases so does the other. Height and shoe size are an example; as one's height increases so does the shoe size.Negative Correlation: as one variable increases, the other decreases. Time spent studying and time spent on video games are negatively correlated; as the your time studying increases, time spent on video games decreases.No Correlation: there is no apparent relationship between the variables. Video game scores and shoe size appear to have no correlation; as one increases, the other has no effect. A No Correlation graph would show this.
It would show a relationship where one variable decreased as the other increased.
There appears to be a very strong negative linear relationship between the two variables. One variable increases as the other decreases following a linear relationship over the domains of measurement. A correlation coefficient can say nothing about causality. It is possible that changes in the first variable causes changes in the second or the other way around. Or, it could be that neither of them cause the other, but both are caused by something else.
A negative correlation is a measure of the linear component of a relationship where one variable increase as the other decrease.
A negative correlation means that two variables are inversely related. This means that as one variable increases the other decreases. When a negative correlation is plotted, it forms a downward slanting line.
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.
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".
No, the "negative" simply refers to the fact that one variable increases as the other decreases.
Negative correlation which is downhill from left to right occurs when one quantity increases while the other quantity decreases.
A negative correlation occurs when, as one variable increases, the other variable decreases. Some variables that might have a negative correlation would be: indoor heating use and temperature outside. As the temperature outside decreases, the amount of heating used will increase.
A scatterplot with no correlation means that there is no relation between the two categories, a negative correlation means that the two categories have a relationship that as one gets greater the other gets smaller
As one thing goes up the other goes down
Correlation is a measure of the degree to which two variables change together. Positive correlation means that the variables increase together and decrease together. Negative correlation means that one variable increases when the other decreases.Correlation does not imply causality.Correlation is a measure of the degree to which two variables change together.

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.
No, it depends upon the size of the coefficient of correlation: the closer to ±1 the stronger the correlation.When the correlation coefficient is positive, one variable increases as the other increases; when negative one increases as the other decreases.
