The correlation between two scores x and y equals 0.8. if both the x scores and the y scores are multiplied by 2, the correlation of the transformed scores would be

Respuesta :

um..4x2=8??? math just sucks...

The correlation coefficient will be the same as 2 if the x scores and the y scores are multiplied by 2.

What is correlation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables which is a quantitative type and gives an idea about the direction of these two variables.

We have correlation between two scores x and y equals 0.8.

r = 0.8

As we know, the correlation coefficient is unaffected by adding, removing, multiplying, or dividing a constant to all of the integers in one or both variables.

So if the x scores and the y scores are multiplied by 2 the value of r does not change.

Thus, the correlation coefficient will be the same as 2 if the x scores and the y scores are multiplied by 2.
