Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Correlation coefficients are used to measure the strength of the linear relationship between two variables. A correlation coefficient greater than zero indicates a positive relationship while a value less than zero signifies a negative relationship.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
