Question

If one regression coefficient is greater than one, then other will be:

• A. Less than one
• B. More than one
• C. Equal to one
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A Less than one

Both the regression coefficients $(b_{xy},b_{yx})$ must have the same sign. i.e., if one of them is positive other should positive or if one of them is negative other should be negative.

If one regression coefficient is greater than one, then other coefficient should be less than one.
