Description

You are in a brainstorming session at WidgeCorp, where no idea is too outrageous. You are discussing penetration in the school lunch market.

As the end of the meeting, the group asks you to prove or disprove some assumptions by looking at correlations.

400-600 words with APA citations and must have in text citations

In your own words, explain what it means if the correlation of 2 variables is positive, negative, or minimal (close to 0), and give an example of each.
