What type of correlation is shown in the scatter plot?

There are three types of correlation: positive, negative, and none (no correlation). Positive Correlation: as one variable increases so does the other. Height and shoe size are an example; as one's height increases so does the shoe size. Negative Correlation: as one variable increases, the other decreases.

A scatterplot is used to represent a correlation between two variables. There are two types of correlations: positive and negative. Variables that are positively correlated move in the same direction, while variables that are negatively correlated move in opposite directions.
