As the degree of linear relationship between two measures increases,
A) the absolute value of the correlation coefficient approaches 1.00.
B) the scatterplot resembles a straight line.
C) our ability to predict for these variables increases.
D) all of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the degree of linear relationship increases, the correlation coefficient becomes closer to -1 or 1, indicating a stronger correlation between the two variables. As a result, the scatterplot increases its resemblance to a straight line. Also, with a stronger correlation, it becomes easier to make predictions about one variable based on the other. Therefore, all of these options are correct.
