Answer:

  • related

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation is a numerical value that tells how two variables or factors change together.

The correlation between two factors may be positive, negative or nonexistent.

A strong association is shown when the graph of the points representing the factors are reasonably well represented by a line.

A perfect positive correlation is when the two variables are related by a linear function with positive slope (the two factors grow together).

A perfect negative correlation exists when the two factors are related by a linear function with negative slope (one factor grows when the other factor decreases).

A nonexistent correlation is when the two factors are not related in any way to each other and so none function can be obtained.
