The correlation coefficient (r) indicates the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. The value of r always ranges between -1 and 1. A value of 0 means there is no linear relationship between the variables, while a value of 1 or -1 indicates a perfect positive or negative relationship. Therefore, statement A is true: the greater the absolute value of r, the stronger the linear relationship between the independent and dependent variable.
