Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Pearson r value is a measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables in a specific sample. Therefore, it can only be generalized to the population from which the sample measures were selected. It cannot be generalized to any population, nor is it limited to finite populations.
