Correlation describes the relationship between two different variables.

Correlation coefficient is between -1 and 1. A correlation greater than 0 is a positive relationship. A correlation less than 0 is a negative relationship. A correlation of 0 indicates no relationship between the variables.

Below you gonna see examples of positive, negative and no relation coefficients:

As you can see the given scatterplot have a correlation: Very low possitive or close to 0 (no correlation)
