The correlation coefficient, r, is a measure of the strength of the correlation. It is a number between 1 and +1. +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation and 1 indicated a perfect negative correlation. If r is positive, then there is a positive correlation between the two variables. If r is negative, there is a negative correlation between the variables.
