Bivariate:
Bivariate data involves other data they are as follows
·         Involving of tow variables
·         It deals with causes or relationships
·         The major purpose of Bivariate analysis is to explain
·         Analysis of two variables simultaneously
·         Correlations
·         Comparisons, relationships, causes, explanations
·         Tables where one variable is contingent on the values of the other variable.
·         independent and dependent variables

Bivariate Correlations:
The Bivariate Correlations procedure computes Pearson's correlation coefficient, suppose X, and Y with their significance levels. Correlations measure how variables or rank orders are related. Before calculating a correlation coefficient, screen your data for outliers and evidence of a linear relationship. Pearson's correlation coefficient is a measure of linear association. Two variables can be perfectly related, but if the relationship is not linear, Pearson's correlation coefficient is not an appropriate statistic for measuring their association.

EXAMPLE:  When we conduct a study that examines the relationship between two variables.  Suppose we conducted a study to see if there were a bivariate relationship between the height and weight of high school students. Since we are working with two variables height and weight, we would be working with bivariate data.

Bivariate analysis:
It is one of the simplest forms of the statistical analysis. It involves the analysis of two variables often denoted as XY, for the purpose of determining the empirical relationship between them. Bivariate analysis can be helpful in testing simple hypotheses of association and causality. Bivariate analysis can be contrasted with univariate analysis in which only one variable is analyzed. Bivariate analysis is a simple (two variable) special case of multivariate analysis (where multiple relations between multiple variables are examined simultaneously).
