Strength of the relationship between the variables

Explanation:

Correlation: In statistics, the term correlation is defined as a measure that represents the extent or degree to which two or more than two variables differ simultaneously. Correlation is of two types negative and positive.

The magnitude of a particular correlation coefficient signifies the strength or brawn of the association or connection between different variables and also the linear relationship direction of variables. The correlation is denoted with "r".
