Question

The correlation coefficient is used to determine: a. a specific value of the y-variable given a specific value of the x-variable c. a specific value of the x-variable given a specific value of the y-variable c. the strength of the relationship between the x and y variables d. none of these

Answer 1

Answer:

c. the strength of the relationship between the x and y variables

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient refers to the relationship between the two variables

Moreover, it has two mainly correlations i.e

Perfect positive correlation: In this, the  correlation coefficient is 1

And, the other is negative correlation: In this, the co

if the correlation coefficient is 1 we have a perfect positive correlation and if the correlation coefficient is -1 than it would be a negative correlation

It lies value between the  -1 and 1

hence, the correct option is c.
