Positive correletion between x and y means that x=ay+b, with a>0 so tha as y increases, so does the x. Now, negative correlation is the same, but with a<0 so that as y increases, x decreases. You have to be careful with the value of correlation coefficient it takes values in [-1,1]. values near 1(or -1) mean strong positive(or negative for -1) linear relation between x and y.

What shows a correlation which may be positive or negative between two sets of data?

I believe you are asking how to identify a positive or negative correlation between two variables, for which you have data. I'll call these variables x and y. Of course, you can always calculate the correlation coefficient, but you can see the correlation from a graph. An x-y graph that shows a positive trend (slope positive) indicates a positive correlation. An x-y graph that shows a negative trend (slope negative) indicates a negative correlation.


How can you tell from a scatter plot wheather two variables have a positive correlation a negative correlation or no correlation?

Positive correlation = the slope of the scattered dots will rise from left to right (positive slope) Negative correlation = the slope of the scattered dots will fall from left to right (negative slope) No correlation = no real visible slope, the dots are too scattered to tell.
