a measure of the degree of association between two variables that are assumed to have a linear relationship, that is, to be related in such a manner that their values form a straight line when plotted on a graph.

What is linear correlation with example?
Correlation is said to be linear if the ratio of change is constant. When the amount of output in a factory is doubled by doubling the number of workers, this is an example of linear correlation.
How do you determine a linear correlation?
The size of |r| indicates the strength of the linear relationship between x and y:
- If |r| is near 1 (that is, if r is near either 1 or −1), then the linear relationship between x and y is strong.
- If |r| is near 0 (that is, if r is near 0 and of either sign). then the linear relationship between x and y is weak.
What is linear correlation and nonlinear correlation?
The concept of linear relationship suggests that two quantities are proportional to each other: doubling one causes the other to double as well. ... This is an example of a linear relationship. Nonlinear relationships, in general, are any relationship which is not linear.
