18 Examples of a Negative Correlation

 , February 28, 2021
A negative correlation is a relationship between variables whereby they go in an opposite direction with respect to each other. This doesn't necessarily imply a causal relationship whereby one directly influences the other. The following are hypothetical examples of negative correlation.
