Question
Assume that the conditions for correlation are met. Is the following statement true or false? If false, explain briefly. A correlation of 0.09 indicates a strong positive association. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The statement is false because a correlation of 0.09 indicates only a moderately strong positive association. B. The statement is true. O C. The statement is false because a correlation of 0.09 indicates a very weak positive association. ( D. The statement is false because a correlation of 0.09 indicates no association.Explanation / Answer
Solution:-) The correlation explains the association / relationship between two linear variables. The correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to +1.
when r 0, it means there is no relationship between the variables. If r is positive, it means that as one variable gets larger the other gets larger. If r is negative it means that as one gets larger, the other gets smaller.
Hence the abve statement is false, as r is positive, it means that there is positive relationship. but as it is close to 0.09, this means that there is a very weak association between two variables.r explains only 9% of the variability
Option(C) is correct.
CHEERS!!
