correlated means if you know one you have some idea of the other.

positive correlation means if one gets bigger the other gets bigger
negative correlation means if one gets bigger, the other gets smaller.

think like this: get a lot of people who are 5 11 and get their average weight
get a lot of people 6 2 and get the average weight.
