You are studying the phenotypic traits of bone density and muscle mass in cattle and find that the two traits have a correlation coefficient of -1.0. What is the interpretation of this statistic

Respuesta :

Oseni

A correlation coefficient of -1 means that bone density and muscle mass are perfectly correlated but in opposite ways.

Correlation coefficient

The correlation coefficient, r, is a measure of the strength of the relationship between two variables.

r = 0 means that the two variables in question have no relationship, r = 1 means that the two variables are perfectly correlated in the same way, and r = -1 means that the two variables are perfectly correlated but in opposing ways.

The implication of the -1 correlation coefficient is that bone density increases with decreasing muscle mass and vice versa.
