Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A correlation is a statistical measure of the relationship between two variables. It ranges from -1 to +1, with a value of 0 indicating no correlation, and values closer to -1 or +1 indicating a stronger negative or positive correlation, respectively. Therefore, a correlation coefficient is a measure of how strongly two variables are related to one another. The other options are not measures of the relationship between variables.
