Question

If two variables have a correlational coefficient value of +.98, this would indicate that the two variables have a strong, relationship, which means that as scores on one variable increase, so do scores on the other. True or false?

Answer 1

The given statement is true.

Explanation:

The given statement is true.

The correlation between two variables is +0.98.

• Coefficient of correlation measure linear relation between two variables.

• The positive coefficient of correlation tells that with increase in one variable leads to increase in other variables.

Thus, a positive correlation of 0.98 means that the two variables have a strong relationship and with increase in one variable, the other variable increases.
