Those are both perfectly valid terms, which you would use according to context. You might say, for example, that obesity has a negative correlation to longevity. And in an aqueous solution there is an inverse correlation between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions.

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.


Is traffic volume and commuting time a negative correlation or positive correlation?

Positive. More traffic means the journey takes more time.


Are negative and inverse relationships the same?

Not necessarily. Negatives are called opposites, or additive inverses. Inverses is much more general. For example, the inverse of an exponent is a logarithm.


What is the process of correlation?

Correlation is a statistical measure that indicates the extent to which two or more variables fluctuate together. A positive correlation indicates the extent to which those variables increase or decrease in parallel; a negative correlation indicates the extent to which one variable increases as the other decreases.


Correlation coefficient is the measure of?

Correlation coefficient is a measure of the strength and direction of a relationship between two variables. It quantifies how closely the two variables are related and ranges from -1 (perfect negative correlation) to 1 (perfect positive correlation), with 0 indicating no correlation.


If a study showed that students that have more hours in a driver's education class have fewer accidents this would be a(n)?

negative correlation.


A negative correlation was found between weight and distance walked. Would you conclude that walking causes lower weight and can you think of an alternate explanation for the findings?

Negative correlation implies an inverse relationship between a person's weight and the amount of distance that they walk (say on an average day). So you can conclude that heavier people are more likely to walk less. Lighter people are more likely to walk more.Remember though that correlation does not always equate to causation. What this means in practical terms is that walking more does not necessarily mean you'll lose weight. Conversely, walking less does not necessarily mean that you'll gain weight. Or thinking of it another way, losing weight will not necessarily cause you to walk more and gaining weight will not necessarily cause you to walk less.


Define correlation coefficients?

Correlation coefficients measure the strength and direction of a relationship between two variables. They range from -1 to 1: a value of 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation, -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, and 0 indicates no correlation. They are commonly used in statistics to quantify the relationship between variables.


Can a correlation be measured?

Yes, correlations can be measured using statistical methods such as Pearson's correlation coefficient or Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. These measures quantify the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.


Example of correlational research?

AnswerIn a negative correlation, as the values of one of the variables increase, the values of the second variable decrease. Likewise, as the value of one of the variables decreases, the value of the other variable increases. This is still a correlation. It is like an "inverse" correlation. The word "negative" is a label that shows the direction of the correlation.There is a negative correlation between TV viewing and class grades-students who spend more time watching TV tend to have lower grades (or phrased as students with higher grades tend to spend less time watching TV).Here are some other examples of negative correlations:1. Education and years in jail-people who have more years of education tend to have fewer years in jail (or phrased as people with more years in jail tend to have fewer years of education)2. Crying and being held-among babies, those who are held more tend to cry less (or phrased as babies who are held less tend to cry more)We can also plot the grades and TV viewing data, shown in the table below. The scatterplot below shows the sample data from the table. The line on the scatterplot shows what a negative correlation looks like. Any negative correlation will have a line with that direction.Participant GPA TV in hours per week #1 3.1 14 #2 2.4 10 #3 2.0 20 #4 3.8 7 #5 2.2 25 #6 3.4 9 #7 2.9 15 #8 3.2 13 #9 3.7 4 #10 3.5 21In this sample, the correlation is -.63.


What is he amount of drivers education students have is related to how many accidents they have what is this relationship called?

This relationship is called the correlation between the amount of drivers education students have and the number of accidents they have. A positive correlation indicates that more education leads to fewer accidents, while a negative correlation would suggest the opposite.


Which functions do not have an inverse?

y = x2 where the domain is the set of real numbers does not have an inverse, because the square root function is a one-two-two mapping (except at 0). Any polynomial with more than one root, over the reals, has no inverse. y = 1/x has no inverse across 0. But it is possible to define the domain so that each of these functions has an inverse. For example y = x2 where x is non-negative has the square root function as its inverse.
