The correlation coefficient between two variables, r, is always going to be between -1 and 1.

- If the correlation coefficient is 0, means that there is no strong correlation relationship in one direction or the other direction.
- If the correlation coefficient is -1, means that these two variables move in opposite directions.
- If the correlation coefficient is 1, means that these two variables move in the same direction.
