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.

Will the correlation coefficient for these data points be positive or negative 24 47 512?
positive
What does it mean when the correlation coefficient has a positive value?
That as one variable increases so does the other
What is the feasible range for r the correlation coefficient?
the correlation coefficient range is -1 to +1
What does it mean when a positive correlation coefficient between the dependent variable Y and the independent variable X indicates?
It means that the two variables are likely dependent. The higher the number of the positive correlation the stronger the connection.
What does it mean for variables to show correlation?
A positive correlation coefficient means that as the value of one variable increases, the value of the other variable increases; as one decreases the other decreases. A negative correlation coefficient indicates that as one variable increases, the other decreases, and vice-versa.
