Detailed explanation-1: -A negative correlation is a relationship between two variables such that as the value of one variable increases, the other decreases. Correlation is expressed on a range from +1 to-1, known as the correlation coefficent. Values below zero express negative correlation.
Detailed explanation-2: -A negative correlation is a relationship between two variables in which an increase in one variable is associated with a decrease in the other. An example of negative correlation would be height above sea level and temperature. As you climb the mountain (increase in height) it gets colder (decrease in temperature).
Detailed explanation-3: -The correlation coefficient is measured on a scale that varies from + 1 through 0 to – 1. Complete correlation between two variables is expressed by either + 1 or-1. When one variable increases as the other increases the correlation is positive; when one decreases as the other increases it is negative.
Detailed explanation-4: -A positive correlation exists when two variables operate in unison so that when one variable rises or falls, the other does the same. A negative correlation is when two variables move opposite one another so that when one variable rises, the other falls.
Detailed explanation-5: -For example, when two stocks move in the same direction, the correlation coefficient is positive. Conversely, when two stocks move in opposite directions, the correlation coefficient is negative.
