Correlation & Trends
The relationship shown by paired data: a positive correlation rises together, a negative correlation falls as the other rises, and no correlation shows no pattern — visible as the drift of points on a scatter plot.
A trend line through a scatter plot summarizes the relationship and supports predictions within the data’s range. Extrapolating far beyond the observed data is unreliable.
