Answer 1

The correlation has no unit of measurement; it is just a number.

Correlation requires both variables to be quantitative.

Explanation:

Correlation refers to the measure of the relationship between two variables. The correlation between two variables is measured using the correlation Coefficient which may take any value between - 1 and 1 ; the closer the correlation Coefficient is to either 1 or - 1, the greater the relationship with negative depicting a negative association and positive depicting a positive relationship between the variables. The correlation Coefficient requires that both variables are numeric (quantitative). The correlation Coefficient has no unit of measurement.
