Correlation research can show a relationship, but not prove a change to one variable will cause
the other to
change

strength of the correlation

The scatterplot is reliable for the type of correlation and the existence of a correlation, but for a
more accurate measure of strength, use the
correlation coefficient
The stronger the correlation, the closer the points will appear as a
line
or
straight line
When one variable increases as the other variable increases the correlation is
positive
