Definition of variables:

Variable is an attribute that describes a person, place, thing, or idea. The value of the variable can "vary"
from one entity to another.

Some properties of correlation coefficient are as follows:


1. Correlation coefficient remains in the same measurement as in which the
two variables are.
2. The sign which correlations of coefficient have will always be the same as
the variance.
3. The numerical value of correlation of coefficient will be in between -1 to + 1.
It is known as real number value.
4. The negative value of coefficient suggests that the correlation is strong and
negative. ...
5. The weak correlation is signaled when the coefficient of correlation
approaches to zero. When ‘r’ is near about zero then we can deduce that the
relationship is weak.
6. Correlation coefficient can be very dicey because we cannot say that the
participants are truthful or not. ...
7. Coefficient of correlation is a pure number without effect of any units on it. ...
8. We use correlation for measuring the association but that does not mean we
are talking about causation. ...
