Expert Solution
Step 1

Correlation between two variables measure the strength and direction between two variables. It measures the linear relationship between the two variables. The correlation coefficient r can take values between –1 to 1, inclusively.

A value of r close to 1 implies that there is strong positive correlation between the pair of random variables, a value of r close to –1 implies that there is strong negative correlation between the pair of random variables, and a value of r close to 0 implies that there is no correlation.
