Yes.
The Pearson correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to 1 inclusive.
The sign of the coefficient tells you the kind of correlation:
- positive: as one variable increases the other also increases (like y = x)
- negative: as one variable increases the other decreases (like y = -x)
|r| = 1 means perfect correlation

What is Multiple Correlation?
Let me assume that you are familiar with the (Pearson) correlation coefficient. If you estimate how one variable might be a linear function of another (using least-squares) then the measure of how strong the association is is known as that with which you are correlation coefficient. If you generalise by estimating what linear function one variable is of two or more other variables then the measure of how strong the relationship is is the multiple correlation.For mathematical reasons which may or may not interest you, and which I won't go into here, if we now go backwards we find that the multiple correlation for the situation where one variable is regressed against one other variable is just the square of the Pearson correlation coefficient.As you probably know, the Pearson ranges from -1 to +1. Because the multiple correlation is the squared value it ranges only from 0 to 1 and can indicate only degree of association, not the sense of direction.
When is the standard correlation coefficient positive?
Assume that you are correlating two variables x and y. If there is an increasing relationship between x and y, (that is , the graph of y=a+bx, slopes upward), the correlation coefficient is positive. Similarly, if there is a decreasing relationship, the correlation coefficient is negative. The correlation coefficient can assume values only between -1 and 1.
What is a stronger correlation than -0.54?
The correlation coefficient ranges from 0 to ±1. The sign of the correlation coefficient shows the correlation as positive (as one increases so does the other) or negative (as one increases the other decreases). 0 represent no correlation and ±1 represents perfect correlation. The further from 0 towards ±1, the stronger the correlation, ie the greater the absolute value* of the correlation coefficient the stronger the correlation. To have a stronger correlation than -0.54 the absolute value must be greater than 0.54; ie all correlation coefficients that are less than -0.54 (eg -0.6, -0.9) and all those greater than +0.54 (eg 0.7, 0.95) are stronger correlations. Mathematically speaking, all those with a correlation coefficient r such that |r| > 0.54 *The absolute value of a number is the number ignoring its sign (ie how far it is away from 0 ignoring the direction along the number line), eg |56| = 56 |-45| = 45 |-56| = 56 Thus |-56| = |56| = 56.
What is the Pearson correlation coefficient of 64?
It is a serious error. The Pearson coefficient cannot be larger than 1 so a value of 64 is clearly a very big error.
Why the value of correlation coefficient is always between -1 and 1?
Why the value of correlation coefficient is always between -1 and 1?
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 value of correlation coefficient r for perfect positive correlation?
1.
What is the range of correlation coefficient and what does its value tell?
The product-moment correlation coefficient or PMCC should have a value between -1 and 1. A positive value shows a positive linear correlation, and a negative value shows a negative linear correlation. At zero, there is no linear correlation, and the correlation becomes stronger as the value moves further from 0.
What are the uses of Pearson correlation coefficient?
The nominal variant will be for males (1) and for females (3) to identify the relation in the study.
Is 0.5 the strongest correlation coefficient?
No. The strongest correlation coefficient is +1 (positive correlation) and -1 (negative correlation).
Which correlation coefficient indicates the weakest relationship between variables?
Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Coefficient indicates how strong the relationship between variables is. A PMCC of zero or very close would mean a very weak correlation. A PMCC of around 1 means a strong correlation.
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).
Which is strongest value for correlation coefficient -0.75 and 0.25?
The further the correlation coefficient is from 0 (ie the closer to ±1) the stronger the correlation.Therefore -0.75 is a stronger correlation than 0.25The strength of the correlation is dependant on the absolute value of the correlation coefficient; the sign of the correlation coefficient gives the "relative" slope of correlation line:+ve (0 to +1) means that as one variable increases the other also increases;-ve (0 to -1) means that as one variable increases the other decreases.
