Question

What does the correlation show about the relationship between temperature and sales of ice cream

Answer 1

The graph is missing. So is the set of data point values. However, I can assume that as the temperature goes up, then so does the sale of ice cream. It's not a perfect relationship, but there is a strong positive correlation between the two variables.

A positive correlation means that as one variable increases, so does the other. Also, it means that if one variable decreases, then the other variable decreases as well. The two variables move in the same direction together.
