It suggests that there is very little evidence of a linear relationship between the variables.
Although Spearman's rank correlation coefficient puts a numerical value between the linear association between two variables, it can only be used for data that has not been grouped.
No correlation. Answer provided by
A correlation coefficient of 1 or -1 would be the highest possible statistical relationship. However, the calculation of correlation coefficients between non independent values or small sets of data may show high coefficients when no relationship exists.
The relationship between two random independently distributed variables is considered to be theoretically the weakest when the correlation coefficient is zero and theoretically the strongest when the correlation coefficient is one, indicating a positive relationship between two variables and negative one, indicating a negative relationationship between two variables. I state that this is a theoretical result as if variables are not random, independently distributed, then a high correlation coefficient can result. For example, let us say that we obtained the following data on age and frequency of accidents: Age 18 1 in 18 people have accidents in a year Age 25 1 in 25 people have accident in a year Age 30 1 in 30 people have accidents in a year Age 35 1 in 6 people have accidents. Age 40 1 in 400 people have accidents If I selectively calculated a correlation coefficient this data including only the three groups ages 18, 25 and 30, you can see I will have a correlation coefficient of 1, however the data was not a random sample of all ages.

You do not connect the dots on a graph when the data points are discrete and not continuous. In other words, when the values represent distinct and unrelated data points rather than a continuous sequence. Connecting the dots in such cases would imply a relationship or trend between the points that does not exist. It is important to consider the nature of the data being represented to determine whether connecting the dots is appropriate.
If you remove certain data points from a dataset, the correlation coefficient may be affected depending on the nature of the relationship between the removed data points and the remaining data points. If the removed data points have a strong relationship with the remaining data, the correlation coefficient may change significantly. However, if the removed data points have a weak or no relationship with the remaining data, the impact on the correlation coefficient may be minimal.
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.
No, it is not resistant to changes in data.
When interpreting a correlation coefficient, it is important to consider both the strength and direction of the relationship between the two variables, as indicated by the value of the coefficient (ranging from -1 to +1). Additionally, one should examine the context of the data, including sample size and potential confounding variables, which can influence the correlation. Finally, correlation does not imply causation, so it's crucial to avoid jumping to conclusions about cause-and-effect relationships based solely on the correlation coefficient.
correlation is used when there is metric data and chi square is used when there is categorized data. sayan chakrabortty

positive
I would use Spearman and Kendall
That there is no correlation of the collected data.
A scatter graph may use a positive correlation or negative correlation, to shows points of the graph in either a dipping or climbing line, and is fairly easy to read the data. A zero correlation is when the points are scattered across the graph and this can make seeing the data difficult. It's a bit like "dot to dot" in a children's puzzle book, but without the numbers at the side of the dots!

The Correlation Coefficient computed from the sample data measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. The symbol for the sample correlation coefficient is r. The symbol for the population correlation is p (Greek letter rho).
