Two variables have a positive association when above-average values of one variable tend to accompany above-average values of the other variable and when below-average values also tend to occur together.

Number of baseball wins for an MLB team vs Team Payroll

Two variables have a negative association when above-average values of one variable tend to accompany below-average values of the other variable.

Number of wins for an MLB team vs Number of Runs allowed by the team

There is no association between two variables if knowing the value of one variable does not help us predict the value of the other variable.
