Understand the concept of association between two variables: it describes how the values of one variable relate to the values of another variable.
Recognize that a positive association means that when one variable increases, the other variable tends to increase as well.
Contrast this with a negative association, where an increase in one variable corresponds to a decrease in the other variable.
Note that independence means the variables do not affect each other’s values, so their movements are unrelated.
Conclude that the best description of a positive association is: 'As one variable increases, the other variable also increases.'
