Question

If increase in value of one variable is not accompnied by the proportional decrease in second variable, then corrrelation between two variables is

• A. perfect positive
• B. perfect negative
• C. imperfect positive
• D. imperfect negative

Answer 1

The correct option is D imperfect negative

In general ,

1) Increase in the value of one is followed by a decrease in the value of the other, and a decrease in the value of one is followed by a decrease in the value of the other, and a decrease in the value of one is followed by an increase in the value of the other is called as negative corrrelation

2) when the values of the variables under study change at different ratios, it is a case of imperfect correlation.

hence in the given statement which satisfies these two statement and hence here the corrrelation is called as imperfect negative.
