Assume that the conditions for correlation are met. Is the following statement true or false? If false, explain briefly. Adding an outlier can dramatically change the correlation. Question content area bottom Part 1 Choose the correct answer below. A. The statement is false because adding an outlier will make the correlation close to 1. B. The statement is false because adding an outlier will have little to no effect on the correlation. C. The statement is true. D. The statement is false because adding an outlier will always dramatically change the correlation.

If we assume that the conditions for correlation are met, which of the following are true? If false, explain briefly. a) A correlation of 0.02 indicates a weak positive association. b) Standardizing the variables will not change the correlation. c) Adding an outlier can potentially change the correlation. a) Choose the correct answer below: The statement is false. The correlation coefficient cannot measure the strength or direction of the association between two variables. The statement is false. A correlation of 0.02 indicates that there may be no linear association between the variables. b) Choose the correct answer below: The statement is false. Standardizing the variables will not switch the sign of the correlation coefficient. The statement is false. Standardizing the variables will not affect the value of the correlation between those variables. Choose the correct answer below: The statement is false. Adding an outlier will not always change the correlation. The statement is false. Adding an outlier will not change the correlation coefficient.
