Positive Correlation

Positive Correlation A relationship between two variables in which both variables move in tandem. A positive correlation exists when as one variable decreases, the other variable also decreases and vice versa. In statistics, a perfect positive correlation is represented by the value +1.00, while a 0.00 indicates no correlation and a -1.00 indicates a perfect negative correlation. The correlation in the same direction is called positive correlation. If one variable increase other is also increase and one variable decrease other is also decrease. For example, the length of an iron bar will increase as the temperature increases. Positive correlation occurs when each variable in the function moves in the same direction. Look at the linear function in the picture, Positive slope, m > 0. As the values of x increase, the values of y increase. Moving from left to right, trace the line with your finger. Notice that the line increases.

Identifying the mechanisms determining species-specific life spans is a central challenge in understanding the biology of aging. Cellular stresses produce damage, that may accumulate and cause aging. Evolution theory predicts that long-lived species secure their longevity through investment in a more durable soma, including enhanced cellular resistance to stress. To investigate whether cells from long-lived species have better mechanisms to cope with oxidative and non-oxidative stress, we compared cellular resistance of primary skin fibroblasts from eight mammalian species with a range of life spans. Cell survival was measured by the thymidine incorporation assay following stresses induced by paraquat, hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, sodium arsenite and alkaline pH (sodium hydroxide). Significant positive correlations between cell LD90 and maximum life span were found for all these stresses. Similar results were obtained when cell survival was measured by the MTT assay, and when lymphocytes from different species were compared. Cellular resistance to a variety of oxidative and non-oxidative stresses was positively correlated with mammalian longevity. Our results support the concept that the gene network regulating the cellular response to stress is functionally important in aging and longevity. positive correlation is correlation that is linked. rephraised it means: positive correlation is correlation in which both axis are linked. so in some extreme cases it would be, (x=y).

but on with the question answering. here are a few examples of positive correlation: 1. the amount of coffee drunk and the number of hours stayed awake. 2. the number of people flying to australia and the number of planes flying to australia. these can easily be changed into scatter diagrams. if you want to know more about positive correlation than come to hawley place school nd ask to see mr freeman. other examples of positive correlation is that. 1.marks of student and his quotient. in this case there is positive correlation between these two variable. on other hand in some other situation "increase in value of one variable is associated with increase in value of another variable or decrease in value of one variable is associated with decrease in value of another variable is called positive correlation".
