Question

Identify the reason the following statements are incorrect. not all reasons will be used. researchers found that the correlation between the number of pages in novels and the number of hours it takes to read them is r=0.71 pages

Answer 1

The statement is incorrect because 'r=0.71 pages' is not a valid correlation coefficient measure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason the statement is incorrect is because the correlation coefficient described is given as 'r=0.71 pages'. This is not a valid correlation coefficient measure. A correlation coefficient value ranges from -1 to 1, indicating the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. The value 'r=0.71 pages' does not fit within this range and is therefore incorrect.
