Expert Solution
Correlation concept introduction :

Correlation coefficient is denoted by r and it is used to find the linear relationship between two variables. In which, one variable is independent and second variable is dependent variable.

Types of correlation:

Positive correlation: If r value is positive and near to +1 then there is a perfect positive correlation between two variables

Negative correlation: If r value is negative and near to -1 then there is a perfect negative correlation between two variables.

No correlation:  If r value near to zero then there is no correlation between two variables
