Correlation is a measure of the extent to which two factors are _______

Answer:relatedExplanation:Correlation is a numerical value that tells how two variables or factors change together.The correlation between two factors may be positive, negative or nonexistent.A strong association is shown when the graph of the points representing the factors are reasonably well represented by a line.A perfect positive correlation is when the two variables are related by a linear function with positive slope (the two factors grow together). A perfect negative correlation exists when the two factors are related by a linear function with negative slope (one factor grows when the other factor decreases).A nonexistent correlation is when the two factors are not related in any way to each other and so none function can be obtained.
