The linear ________ coefficient denoted by r measures the ________ of the linear association between two variables.
A) correlation; strength
B) squares; weakness
C) probability; likelihood
D) exponential; exponent

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The linear correlation coefficient (r) is a measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. The closer r is to 1 or -1, the stronger the linear association, while a value of 0 indicates no linear relationship. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer as it correctly identifies r as measuring the strength of the linear association between two variables.
