1. A positive correlation. As one quantity increases so does the other.2. A negative correlation. As one quantity increases the other decreases.3. No correlation. Both quantities vary with no clear relationship.
Scatter Plots
Scatter plots are used to show whether there is a relationship between two sets of data. The relationship between the data can be described as either:
Sh
oe S
ize
Annual Income
Heig
ht
Shoe Size
Sou
p S
ale
s
Temperature
Positive Correlation Negative Correlation
No Correlation

A positive correlation is characterised by a straight line with a positive slope.A negative correlation is characterised by a straight line with a negative slope.

People with higher maths scores tend to get higher physics scores.As the engine size of cars increase, they use more petrol. (Less mpg)There is no relationship between KS 3 results and the height of students.As the outside air temperature increases, heating bills will be lower.People tend to buy more sun cream when the weather is sunnier.The older the car the less its value.

Weak Positive
A positive or negative correlation is characterised by a straight line with a positive /negative slope. The strength of the correlation depends on the spread of points around the imagined line.
Strong Positive
