Answer: Negative
If the same negative number is multiplied to each side of a true inequality, then the inequality sign flips to make the new inequality true as well
Example:
Take 1 < 5 and multiply both sides by -2 and we get -2 > -10. The "less than" sign flips to "greater than" since -2 < -10 is false. The value of -10 is further to the left of -2 so -10 is smaller in value. The negative basically takes the complete opposite which is why the flip must happen.
This sign flip rule does not happen if you multiply both sides by a positive number.
The given study is observational study
To gauge how strongly two variables are related to one another, correlation coefficients are used.
A statistical indicator of the strength of the association between the relative movements of two variables is the correlation coefficient. The values are in the -1.0 to 1.0 range. There was a measurement error in the correlation if the estimated value was larger than 1.0 or lower than -1.0. Perfect negative correlation is shown by a correlation of -1.0, and perfect positive correlation is shown by a correlation of 1.0. A correlation of 0.0 indicates that there is no linear link between the two variables' movements. Finance and investing can benefit from the usage of correlation statistics.
