It is a diagrammatic or Graphical Representation of pair of given values(𝑥, 𝑦). From the diagram, we
can find whether the plotted point takes the shape of straight line or curve.

If the shape is straight line then the Correlation is Linear.

The straight line from Left bottom to Right Top. Correlation is linear r =+1 slope +ve.
Correlation is perfect & positive

Left Top

Right bottom

The straight Line is left top to right bottom. Correlation is linear. r = -1. Slope is negative.
Correlation is perfect but negative

The plotted points take the shape of curve. There is no linear combination. r = 0.

= x SE

Note:
a) r is sample Correlation Co-efficient and n size of the sample
b) If r < PE, there is no evidence Correlation
c) If r ≥ 6 PE, the presence of Correlation is certain. ’r’ is significant
