Question

Tony has been doing research on age and aggression. he has discovered that the older a person gets, the less likely he or she is to aggress against another person. what kind of relationship best describes tony's findings?

Answer 1

The correct answer is negative correlation. 

A negative correlation refers to a relationship between two variables, where an increase in the value of one variable leads to a decrease in the value of the other variable, and vice-versa. In this examples, Tony's findings indicate that when one's age increases, one's likelihood to be aggressive decreases. Thus, age and aggression  are negatively correlated.
