Final answer:

A negative association means that as one set of numerical data decreases, the other set also decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

A negative correlation means that as one set of numerical data decreases, the other set also decreases. This is represented by a negative association. In other words, when one variable increases, the other variable decreases, and vice versa.
