If both variables are continuous, in simple linear regression R² = r² and the correlation r is independent of whether "X" or "Y" is chosen as the dependent variable. The choice of which variable is the dependent variable and which is the independent variable would have no impact in practice.

In correlation analysis, the dependent variable is Multiple Choice the variable that is scaled on the horizontal axis. the variable that is being predicted or estimated. a variable that provides the basis for estimation. It is the predictor variable. The dependent variable is the variable that depends on the independent variable. It is the variable that is being predicted or estimated.

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.

Determine whether the statement is true or false. Justify your answer. When the correlation coefficient for a linear regression model is close to $-1,$ the regression line is a poor fit for the data.
