Suppose that the correlation r between two quantitative variables was found to be r = 0. This means that: (a) there is a strong linear relationship between the two variables. (b) there is no linear relationship between the two variables. (c) there is a strong relationship between the two variables. (d) there is no relationship between the two variables. (e) none of the above.

Assuming a linear relationship between X and Y, if the coefficient of correlation (r) equals -0.90, then the correlation value means that a. there is a very strong negative linear relationship between X and Y. b. the slope (b1) is positive. c. variable X is larger than variable Y. d. there is a very weak negative linear relationship between X and Y.

If the correlation coefficient between two variables x and y is -0.9, Then: a. There is a strong negative linear relationship between x and y. b. There is a strong direct linear relationship between x and y. c. There is a weak negative linear relationship between x and y. d. There is on linear relationship between x and y.
