Answer:

a positive correlation is when both variables move in the same direction. a negative correlation is when the variables move in opposite directions. no correlation is when the variables are not statistically related

Step-by-step explanation:

negative correlation example: As you climb the mountain (increase in height) it gets colder (decrease in temperature).

zero correlation example: the amount of apple juice drunk and level of intelligence

btw you have a good example of positive correlation :) it can also be when both variables decrease
