    correlation measures the degree to which two variables are related to one another. Here are the definitions of the three possibilities: Positive correlations: In this type of correlation, both variables increase or decrease at the same time. A correlation coefficient close to +1.00 indicates a strong positive correlation. Negative correlations: This type of correlation indicates that as the amount of one variable increases, the other decreases (and vice versa). A correlation coefficient close to -1.00 indicates a strong negative correlation....

    Now suppose the correlation coefficient for the relationship between a country’s adolescent birth rate (i.e., the rate at which teenage girls give birth) and life expectancy works out to be −0.71. What can we conclude from the value of that correlation coefficient? I. The association between the adolescent birth rate and life expectancy is strong and positive (as the adolescent birth rate increases, life expectancy increases as well). II. The association between the adolescent birth rate and life expectancy is...
