C) multiple
D) multi-linear

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correlation coefficient between height and weight in a group of research participants is known as a zero-order correlation. This type of correlation measures the association between two variables without controlling for the effects of any other variables. Therefore, this is the most appropriate choice. The other options (partial, multiple, and multi-linear) refer to correlations that are adjusted for one or more other variables, which are not mentioned in the question.
