linear regression calculates an equation that allows us to make an “educated guess” at a person's score on some measure, given their scores on other measures. For instance, we might want to predict a person's GPA in college, given their GPA in high school.

Bivariate correlation involves two variables, and (not surprisingly) multiple correlation involves more than two variables. The former is calculated using the Pearson correlation statistic (r), while multiple correlation is calculated using the multiple correlation coefficient, R. Correlations of 0 indicate no linear relationship, while correlations of 1 indicate perfect linear relationship.
