A negative correlation was found between weight and distance walked?

If these were weights of people then it suggests that the heavier the people the shorter the distance they were willing (or able!) to walk.

Is there negative correlation between weight and distance walked on an average day?
That's a question that can only really be answered via a study. Take a random sample of people (from your school for example) and plot their weight against their average daily walking distance (you may have to make your subjects carry a pedometer during the study period). Do you see a negative relationship on the graph?As a second step, calculate the correlation coefficient. As negative correlation gets stronger the correlation coefficient will get closer to -1.
A negative correlation was found between weight and distance walked. Would you conclude that walking causes lower weight and can you think of an alternate explanation for the findings?
Negative correlation implies an inverse relationship between a person's weight and the amount of distance that they walk (say on an average day). So you can conclude that heavier people are more likely to walk less. Lighter people are more likely to walk more.Remember though that correlation does not always equate to causation. What this means in practical terms is that walking more does not necessarily mean you'll lose weight. Conversely, walking less does not necessarily mean that you'll gain weight. Or thinking of it another way, losing weight will not necessarily cause you to walk more and gaining weight will not necessarily cause you to walk less.
What is example of correlation?
A man walked past the mill in the afternoon, and the mill caught fire
Julian walked a distances of 2 meters Keira walked a distance of 300 centimeters. which distance is longer?

Differentiate distance and displacement?
Distance has no concept of direction and can be measured even if a person walks 2 miles in the shape of a triangle, he or she has still walked 2 miles. Displacement, however, it the distance measured between two particular points in a certain direction.
If you have walked 108 steps how many miles is that?
I guess it depends on how large the steps are. For example, the larger the distance between each step, the further you will go.
How does the distance each person has walked compare with the distance each is from the start of the maze?
Without seeing an actual maze, paths within the maze, and without a definition of whether one is discussing distance "as the crow flies", versus distance within the maze. The only conclusion one can come to is that the distance walked would be greater than or equal to (>=) the distance from the start. I.E. it is likely that the person didn't follow a straight line between the start and current position, and there was also some retracing of steps.
Can you calculate your average speed while walking at different speeds?
For the speed of a single pedestrian, measure the time it takes him/her to walk a set distance (for example 10 meters) and divide the distance by the time. For the average speed of a pedestrian find a large number of people and measure the speed of each person and find the average by summing all the speeds and dividing by the number of people who took the test.
What is the distance between sorrento and positano Italy driving time or miles?
405978654 metres exactly. Walked it a while ago.
How is displacement explain in physics?
Displacement is basically the total space between point A and point B. Commonly mistaken, displacement is different than distance. For example, if somebody walked 5 meters to the right, then 4 meters to the left, their displacement would be 1 meter, and their distance walked would be 9 meters.
What is an instrument that records distance walked?
Speedometer or pedometer.
