Questions and Answers

What does the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r) measure?

  • The strength of a linear association between two variables (correct)
  • The difference in means between two groups
  • The proportion mean of a continuous variable
  • The statistical significance of an association

What does an r value of -1 or 1 indicate about the association between two variables?

  • Statistically insignificant association
  • Perfect linear association (correct)
  • Weak association
  • No association

In the context of measuring association, what does 'null value' refer to?

  • Perfect association between the variables
  • Zero association between the variables (correct)
  • Uncertain association between the variables
  • Weak association between the variables
