If by positive you mean that an increase in the independent variable is accompanied by an increase in the dependent variable then this will be indicated by a correlation close to one.

What is considered 'close to one' depends on the field of study. In some fields where it can be quite difficult to establish relationships between variables a correlation of, say, 0.35 might be considered important, provided of course that it has been shown to be statistically significant.

What is a positive linear relationship?

A linear relationship is one where your equation forms a straight line. A positive linear relationship is one where this line has a positive gradient.


What does a scatter plot with strong positive correlation look like?

The line that connects the dots is relatively straight.


What does a scatter plot look like Having a positive linear correlation?

It looks like a straight line increasing as the x-values increase. So basically a line that goes from the bottom left area to the top right area on a graph.


What is Definition of linear regression and correlation in statistics?

Whenever you are given a series of data points, you make a linear regression by estimating a line that comes as close to running through the points as possible. To maximize the accuracy of this line, it is constructed as a Least Square Regression Line (LSRL for short). The regression is the difference between the actual y value of a data point and the y value predicted by your line, and the LSRL minimizes the sum of all the squares of your regression on the line. A Correlation is a number between -1 and 1 that indicates how well a straight line represents a series of points. A value greater than one means it shows a positive slope; a value less than one, a negative slope. The farther away the correlation is from 0, the less accurately a straight line describes the data.


If the relationship between the manipulated variable and the responding variable is a direct proportion what will a line graph of this relationship look like?

Straight line.

The straight line on the graph tells us about the relationship between two temperatures?

A line on a graph that compares two variables, temperature for example tells us a great deal about the relationship of these variables in the experimental system. When the line is straight it reflects a direct and proportional relationship between the two factors.

A straight line graph plotted on the Cartesian plane


When a man cheats in the beginning of a new relationship?

This usually indicates he will never be committed to your relationship. It is better to end the new relationship with him straight away.


Which straight-line acceleration indicates an increase in speed?

Positive acceleration indicates an increase in speed in a straight line. This means the object is moving faster with time.


The relationship where 2 variables move in the same direction are called what?

A direct correlation, it appears as a straight line on a graph and occurs when variables are related as y=xk.


When you have a scatter plot and you have to choose a correlation I know Positive Negative and no correlation are options Is moderate correlation an option?

Yes. * A positive correlation is when the dependant variable increases as the independent one does. * A negative correlation is when the dependant variable decreases as the independent one increases. * Perfect correlation is when all the points lie along a straight line; no correlation is when the points lie all over the place. In calculating the correlation coefficient it can have a value between -1 and 1, with 0 indication no correlation and values between 0 and ±1 showing a greater correlation until ±1 which is perfect correlation. Moderate correlation would be one of these intermediate values, eg ±0.5, which shows the points are moderately related.


A straight line on a graph means there is a what relationship?

A direct relationship if the slope of the line is positive. An inverse relationship if the slope of the line is negative.


What is a curvilinear curve?

"In curvilinear relationships, the data points increase together up to a certain point (like a positive relationship) and then as one increases, the other decreases (negative relationship) or vice versa." A linear relation is very simple: if one variable goes up, the other goes up (positive correlation) or goes down (negative correlation). A curvilinear relation between variables is non-linear (i.e., that cannot be described by a straight line). Basically, anythig not linear is curvilinear.
