ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
A negative correlation is observed when two variables are opposed. Here, if a variable goes in the positive direction, the other variable goes in the negative. The correlation coefficient is usually considered to be less than zero. If the coefficient is zero, there is no correlation; if it is greater than zero, the correlation is positive.
