What is the correlation coefficient r?

In statistics, the correlation coefficient r measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables on a scatterplot. The value of r is always between +1 and –1. The closer the value of r is to +1, the stronger the linear relationship. For example, suppose the value of Diesel prices are directly…
