In a local 8-ball league, players are issued a handicap based on their ability. The handicap is used to adjust scores between players of different ability levels. The better a player is, the lower his or her handicap will be. What type of correlation exists between the skill of a player and his or her handicap?

Negative correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation analysis is used to measure the type and degree of relationship which exists between two or more independent variables. Relationship between variables may be classed as Negative or positive depending on the nature or behavior of one variable relative to the other. Positive relationship exists when an increase on one variable leads to a corresponding increase in the other other variable.

However, in the scenario described above, handicap decreases with player quality that is the better a player is, the lower the handicap ; similarly, a player with higher handicap with have low quality, this is Hence a classic scenario of Negative correlation or relationship.
