What is a positive correlation?

A positive correlation refers to a statistical relationship between two variables in which they both move in the same direction. This means that as one variable increases, the other variable also tends to increase, and as one variable decreases, the other variable also tends to decrease. In other words, there is a direct relationship between the two variables, and they have a positive linear association.
