If the correlation coefficient between variables x and y equals zero, what can be stated about relationship between the variables? Multiple Choice x causes y. The variables are not related. The variables are highly related. The variables are dependent on each other.

In other words, knowing the value of one variable does not provide any information about the value of the other variable. This does not necessarily mean that there is no relationship at all between the variables, but it does mean that there is no linear Show more…

If the correlation coefficient between two variables, X and Y, close to one, what can be said of the variables X and Y? The variables are dependent on each other The variables are highly related X causes Y The variables are not related

Which of the following is NOT true about the correlation between two variables X and Y? A. If the correlation between X and Y is a positive number, then X and Y tend to move in the same direction. B. The correlation between X and Y can never be higher than 1. C. A strong correlation doesn't necessarily indicate a causal relationship between X and Y. D. If the correlation between X and Y is zero, then X and Y have exactly the same value.
