Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The opposite of covariance is statistical independence, meaning that the two variables do not vary together and there is no relationship between them. Scattergram refers to a graphical representation of a bivariate relationship and is not the opposite of covariance. Anticovariance does describe an inverse relationship between two variables, but it is not the opposite of covariance. Univariance is not a term commonly used in statistics and does not describe the opposite of covariance.
