What is the statistical measure of a relationship between two variables?
corrrelation
What do you call a measure of the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables or data sets?
A measure of association. You might be thinking of the correlation coefficient in particular.
What does correlation tell us?
Correlation is a statistical technique that is used to measure and describe the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.
A relationship between two variables or sets of data is called what?
Some people will give the answer "correlation". But that is not correct for the following reason: Consider the coordinates of a circle. There is obviously a very strong relationship between the x coordinate and the y coordinate. The correlation between the two is not just small, but 0. The correlation between two variables is a measure of the linear relationship between them. But there can be non-linear relationships which will not necessarily be reflected by any correlation.
