When ñ  
0,the sampling distribution of the correlation coefficient is skewed.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A sampling distribution is considered skewed if it is not symmetrical. The correlation coefficient is a measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. If the value of the correlation coefficient is close to 1 or -1, it suggests a strong linear relationship between the two variables. In the given code, the value of the correlation coefficient is not provided, so we cannot comment on its strength. However, the statement suggests that the sampling distribution of the correlation coefficient is skewed, which means that the distribution is not symmetrical. Therefore, the answer is A.
