Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Correlation coefficients measure the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. The range of correlation coefficients is from -1 to +1, where -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, 0 indicates no correlation, and +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation. Therefore, the best choice for the range of correlation coefficients is option B (-1 to +1).
