Question

if due to increase in the value of variable X, value of variable Y also increases, then what type of correlation exist between variables X and Y?

Answer 1

Answer:

Understanding Negative Correlation

If variables X and Y have a negative correlation (or are negatively correlated), as X increases in value, Y will decrease; similarly, if X decreases in value, Y will increase. ... The correlation coefficient (usually denoted by "r" or "R") can be determined by regression analysis.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correlation between the variables X and Y is positive correlation.

Explanation:

• Given that as the value of variable X increases,The value of variable Y also increases.
• So they are directly in proportion.
• So they are in positive correlation.
• Positive correlation occurs when both the variables are in same direction.
• Positive correlation is also called as direct correlation.
• Examples of positive correlation :

1. As the height of a person increases their weight also increases.
2. The more you workout the more calories you burn.
3. As the child grows their height also increases.

• As increase in one is leading to increase in other too.
• If they are in negative correlation,As the X value increases Y value will decrease.
• Negative correlation occurs when the variables are in different directions.
