Comparisons of the degree of linear correlation are considered most accurate in terms of:
A)the standardized regression coefficient
B)the square root of the correlation coefficient
C)the correlation coefficient squared
D)the log linear correlation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correlation coefficient squared, also known as the coefficient of determination, is considered the most accurate measure for comparing the degree of linear correlation because it gives the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that can be explained by the independent variable(s). This provides a more meaningful interpretation of the strength of the relationship between the variables.
