Suppose we have the correlation coefficient for the relationship
between two variables, A and B. Determine whether each of the
following statement is true or false.
(a) The variables A and B are categorical.
(b) The correlation coefficient tells us whether A or B is the
explanatory variable.
(c) If the correlation coefficient is positive, then lower values
of variable A tend to correspond to lower values of variable
B.
(d) If the correlation between A and B is r = 0.6, then the
correlation between B and A is r = −0.6.
(e) The correlation coefficient will be +1.0 if all the data points
lie on a perfectly horizontal straight line.
