Please don't hesitate to give a "thumbs up" for the answer in case the answer has helped you

Regression describes how an independent variable is numerically related to the dependent variable. It does cover to a good extend also the "strength " of the relationship between 2 variables ( statistical significance ) and its direction. ( sign)

Correlation coefficient indicates the extent to which two variables move together - i.e. only the strength and direction of the relationship

Thus correlation and regression are connected to each other in the above way.

Correlation can be used as an alternative of bivariate regression in case you want to get an idea of the direction of relationship ( sign), whether its worth testing for statistical significance ( through bivariate charts etc.), and because they have the same application. Regression go an extra mile by giving out the exact relation between the 2 variables.

Regression and correlation analysis both describe the strength of linear relationships between variables. Consider the concepts of education and income. Many people would say these two variables are related in a linear fashion. As education increases, income usually increases (although not necessarily at the same rate). Can you think of two variables that are related in such a way that their relationship changes over their range of possible values (i.e., in a curvilinear fashion)? How would you analyze the relationship...
