Question

The relationship between the number of hours a person practices a task and the time it takes them to complete the task is calculated to have R-sq = 56.7%. The value of the correlation coefficient is

Answer 1

Answer: 0.753.

Explanation:

The value of the correlation coefficient is denoted by 'r'. It is used to describe the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.

Given: The relationship between the number of hours a person practices a task and the time it takes them to complete the task is calculated to have R-sq = 56.7%.

= 0.567

Then,
`r=√(R^2)`

`=√(0.567)\approx0.753`

Hence, the value of the correlation coefficient is 0.753.
