CORRELATION AND EXPERIMENTATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:A negative correlation indicates there is NOT a relationship between two variables.
A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There is an inverse relationship between the variables. Therefore, there exists a relation relationship between variables. Therefore, given statement that a negative value of correlation coefficient are indicate that indicate that the 2 variable the 2 variables are unrelated, is a false statement.

Detailed explanation-2: -A negative, or inverse correlation, between two variables, indicates that one variable increases while the other decreases, and vice-versa. This relationship may or may not represent causation between the two variables, but it does describe an observable pattern.

Detailed explanation-3: -A negative correlation is an event of two variables moving in the opposite direction. As one variable increases in value, the other decreases.

Detailed explanation-4: -A negative correlation is a relationship between two variables that move in opposite directions. In other words, when variable A increases, variable B decreases. A negative correlation is also known as an inverse correlation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Correlation is a statistical measure (expressed as a number) that describes the size and direction of a relationship between two or more variables. A correlation between variables, however, does not automatically mean that the change in one variable is the cause of the change in the values of the other variable.
