Mann– Whitney U test and the Wilcoxon signed- interconnection or a co-relationship between the
rank test variables. 'Regression' explains how an
independent variable is numerically associated

approaches to the side of + 1 then it means the
relationship is strong and positive. By this we can
say that if +1 is the result of the correlation then
the relationship is in a positive state. 5) The weak
correlation is signaled when the coefficient of
correlation approaches to zero. When ‘r’ is near
about zero then we can deduce that the
relationship is weak. 6) Correlation coefficient can
be very dicey because we cannot say that the
