16. Covariance and Correlation

Covariance and correlation are pivotal statistical tools that assess the relationship between two random variables, measuring how the changes in one are associated with changes in another. Covariance indicates the direction of the relationship, whereas correlation standardizes this measure, providing insights into the strength and nature of the relationship. These concepts are crucial in fields like data analysis, engineering, and other areas involving complex interactions among variables.
