Question

A researcher is conducting a study and you are hired to help them analyse their data. They have already looked at scatterplots and they give you only the linear correlation coefficient to consider. Suppose that the correlation r between two quantitative variables was found to be r = 0.92. Based on this information, what would you advise?

There is a strong linear relationship between the two variables.

There is a strong relationship between the two variables.

There is no relationship between the two variables.

There is no linear relationship between the two variables.

None of the above.

Answer 1

Answer:

option A

Step-by-step explanation:

since correlation of 2 variables indicates only if there is a linear relationship between each other  ( it does not detect if the variables are related in other way) , then a high value of r corresponds to a strong linear relationship between the variables
