correlation measure the strength of association between to variables.but some times both variables are not in same units.so we cannot measure it with the help of correlation. in this case we use its coefficent which mean unit free. that,s why we use it.

the correlation coefficient range is -1 to +1
good correlation
It will be invaluable if (when) you need to calculate sample correlation coefficient, but otherwise, it has pretty much no value.
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.
