Pairs of variables
What do we mean when we say that two variables have a strong positive (or negative) linear correlation? What would a scatter diagram for these variables look like? Is it possible that two variables could be strongly related somehow, but have a low linear correlation? Explain and draw a scatter diagram to demonstrate your point.
