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.

What you mean by linear relationship?

A linear relationship refers to a direct proportional connection between two variables, where a change in one variable results in a consistent change in the other. This relationship can be represented graphically as a straight line on a coordinate plane, typically described by the equation (y = mx + b), where (m) is the slope and (b) is the y-intercept. In this context, the slope indicates the rate of change between the variables, and a positive slope reflects a direct correlation, while a negative slope indicates an inverse correlation.


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.

If a graph of distance versus time is a straight line the graph shows what relationship?

it is a positive relationship


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.


What graph indicates that there is a linear relationship?

A straight line graph plotted on the Cartesian plane


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 your graphing what is it called when the dots are in a line?

When the dots on a graph form a straight line, it indicates a linear relationship between the variables being plotted. This alignment suggests that there is a consistent rate of change, which can be described by a linear equation. If the dots perfectly align, it might indicate a perfect linear correlation, while a scattered arrangement could suggest a strong or weak correlation.


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.
