No, the "negative" simply refers to the fact that one variable increases as the other decreases.

What negative correlation indicate?
the negative sign on correlation just means that the slope of the Least Squares Regression Line is negative.
What does a correlation factor of -0.95 mean?
This means that the correlation is negative but still significant.
What shows a correlation which may be positive or negative between two sets of data?
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.
What is the correlation on a graph?
a correlation on a graph is when the line of best fit is positive, negative or none.
If two variables have a negative linear correlation is the slope of the least squares negative?
Negative
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
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.
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).
What are the trends of a line?
They can be positive correlation, negative correlation or no correlation depending on 'line of best fit'
What is a negative correlation?
A negative correlation is a measure of the linear component of a relationship where one variable increase as the other decrease.
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.
How can you tell from a scatter plot wheather two variables have a positive correlation a negative correlation or no correlation?
Positive correlation = the slope of the scattered dots will rise from left to right (positive slope) Negative correlation = the slope of the scattered dots will fall from left to right (negative slope) No correlation = no real visible slope, the dots are too scattered to tell.
