Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coefficient of correlation (r) is a measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. It ranges from -1 to +1, where -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, 0 indicates no correlation, and +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation. Therefore, it cannot be larger than 1 or smaller than -1.
