Question

If the coefficient of correlation is positive, then the regression coefficient:

• A. Both are positive
• B. Both are negative
• C. One is positive and another is negative
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Both are positive

Explanation for the correct option.

Given that, the coefficient of correlation is positive.

We know that, the regression coefficient is the measure of the relationship between two or more variables.

So, as the coefficient of correlation is positive then the regression coefficient is also positive.

Hence, option A is correct.
