Question

Which of the following is false? Correlation measures the strength of linear association between two numerical variables. If the correlation between two variables is close to 0.01, then there is a very weak linear relation between them. Correlation coefficient and the slope always have the same sign (positive or negative). If the correlation coefficient is 1, then the slope must be 1 as well.

Answer 1

If the correlation coefficient is 1, then the slope must be 1 as well.

Explanation:

Coefficient of correlation is used in statistics to determine the relationship between two variables. Correlation coefficient and slope always have same sign. It measures the strength of linear relation between two variables. The values of correlation coefficient ranges between 0 to 1. where 0 determines that there is no relationship between two variables.
