Positive correlation
A strong association between two different phenomena such that when one is the present, the other is as well. For example, in the united states today, people who have college degrees usually earn more money during their lifetimes than do people who have only gone to high school. It is important to keep in mind that a positive correlation does not necessarily imply a cause and effect relationship between the co-occurring phenomena.
