Shaiju T.
If we assume that the conditions for correlation are met, which of the following are true? If false, explain briefly. a) A correlation of -0.98 indicates a strong, negative association. b) Multiplying every value of x by 2 will double the correlation. c) The units of the correlation are the same as the units of y.

Which of the following statements about correlation is true? Choose the correct answer below. A. We say that there is a negative correlation between x and y if the x-values increase as the corresponding y-values increase. B. We say that there is a positive correlation between x and y if there is no distinct pattern in the scatterplot. C. We say that there is a positive correlation between x and y if the x-values increase as the corresponding y-values decrease. D. We say that there is a positive correlation between x and y if the x-values increase as the corresponding y-values increase.
