a. When two variables have a positive linear correlation, dependent variable increases as the independent variable increases.
b. When two variables have a negative linear correlation, dependent variable decreases as the independent variable increases.
c. The range of values for the correlation coefficient: from -1 to +1.
d. Correlation a measure which indicates the strength and direction of linear relationship between two variables. The value of r 1 = 0.975 (very close to 1) indicates a stronger correlation.
