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.

What are three types of correlations?
positive correlation-negative correlation and no correlation
What does a strong negative correlation coefficient mean?
The graph follows a very strong downward trend. Would have helped if you specified which correlation coefficient; there are different types.
What are characteristics of negative correlation?
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.
In a negative correlation as one factor is decreased the other factor?
In a negative correlation as one factor is decreased, the other factor is increased.
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).
What does a correlation factor of -0.95 mean?
This means that the correlation is negative but still significant.
What does it mean if GPA has a negative correlation with performance?
that you're stupid
What is the difference between positve and negative correlation?
Positive correlation has a positive slope and negative correlation has a negative slope.
What does the sign of the correlation coefficient tell you about the association?
Positive correlation = positive association Negative correlation = negative association
Are negative correlation and reverse correlation same?
No.
What are three types of correlations?
positive correlation-negative correlation and no correlation
What does a moderate negative correlation coefficient mean?
It means that when THIS happens, THAT usually, but not always, doesn't.
Is -.187 a positive or negative correlation?
It's a negative correlation because it is less than 0
What negative correlation indicate?
the negative sign on correlation just means that the slope of the Least Squares Regression Line is negative.
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".
Is certain a negative connotation or positive correlation?
A positive correlation.
Is 0.5 the strongest correlation coefficient?
No. The strongest correlation coefficient is +1 (positive correlation) and -1 (negative correlation).
