Questions and Answers

What does the covariance measure?

  • The direction of the linear relationship between two variables
  • The strength of the linear relationship between two variables
  • The causal relationship between two variables
  • The pattern to the way two variables move together (correct)

    • In which situation does the covariance result in a large positive number?

  • When there is no particular pattern
  • When two variables move in opposite directions
  • When two variables move in the same direction (correct)
  • When there is a weak linear relationship

    • What does a covariance of 0 indicate?

  • A strong positive relationship
  • A causal relationship
  • A strong negative relationship
  • A weak or no relationship (correct)

    • What does a large negative covariance indicate?
