Positive Correlation


The topic that I wanted to talk about was positive correlation.  Positive correlation is a relationship between two variables that move together either positively or negatively.  An example of positive correlation could be the more time I spend at the gym, the more healthier I will be when I become older.  Another example of positive correlation could be the more time I spend studying my homework, the better grades I will get in school.  Negative correlation is almost the same thing as positive correlation, except the results end up being negative instead of positive.  For example, in the winter time the number of heaters running is in correlation with how cold the temperature is, whereas if the temperature increased, the number of homes running their heater will decrease.

  1. I know exactly where you are coming from about going to the gym. I go to the gym four to five times a week and work very hard in there. Though you can see a positive correlation as my body slowly but surely transforms, there is a positive correlation with my mind as well. After going to the gym and taking a nice shower, my body feels as if it is on cloud nine. I feel very relaxed and stressed free. All the pain and stress I go through, throughout my day is all gone and everything on my mind is shunned off while at the gym.
