If the grade point average (GPA) rises as the number of hours spent watching TV falls, the correlation between GPA and TV is likely negative or inversely correlated. This means that as one variable (TV watching) decreases, the other variable (GPA) tends to increase. Negative correlation is represented by a negative correlation coefficient, typically ranging from -1 (perfect negative correlation) to 0 (no correlation). In this case, the correlation coefficient would be less than 0 but greater than -1.
