 ## Correlation
 Correlation is between `-1` and `1`. Correlation near 1 means tight clustering, and correlation near 0 means loose clustering.  $r$ is -1 if the points are on a line with negative slope, $r$ is positive 1 if the points are on a line with a positive slope. As $|r|$ gets closer to 1, the line points cluster more tightly around a line.
 
+If $x$ is above average, we expect the $y$ to be above average if there's a strong correlation coefficient
 ## Calculating $r$ by hand
 Put the $x$ values into $L1$, put the $y$ values into $L2$.
