Question

In one study, it was found that the correlation coefficient between two variables is 0.01.

Which is true?


a. There is almost no association between the variables.
b. There is a strong negative association between the variables.
c. There is a strong positive association between the variables.
d. There is a perfect association between the variables.

Answer 1

a. There is almost no association between the variables.

Answer 2

Option A, There is almost no association between the variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Correlation coefficient between two variables is 0.01

As per the standard rule, if the value of correlation coefficient lies between 0.3 and 0.5 , then it is said to have a low value of correlation coefficient.

Here the values is lesser than even 0.3 , hence it can be said that a value of correlation coefficient
`= 0.01` shows no association between the variables.

Thus, option A is correct.
