Question

Suppose a certain scale is not calibrated correctly, and as a result, the mass of any object is displayed as 0.75 kilogram less than its actual mass. What is the correlation between the actual masses of a set of objects and the respective masses of the same set of objects displayed by the scale?

Answer 1

A certain scale is not calibrated correctly,

Mass displayed as 0.75 kilogram less than its actual mass.

The scale of display will be equal to '1'

The correlation between actual mass and displayed mass is 1 because correlation is independent of change of origin and scale and correlation between any value and value minus 0.75 will be one.

So, the correct answer will be "1"
