What does it mean when the correlation coefficient has a positive value?

When x increases, y decreases, and when x decreases, y increases.

When x increases, y increases, and when x decreases, y decreases.

When x increases, y decreases, and when x is constant, y equals zero.

When x increases, y increases, and when x is constant, y decreases.

A positive correlation coefficient means that as the value of one variable increases, the value of the other variable increases; as one decreases the other decreases. A negative correlation coefficient indicates that as one variable increases, the other decreases, and vice-versa. REFERENCE http://www2.webster.edu/~woolflm/correlation/correlation.html
