Question

If the value of correlation $r=\frac{1}{2}$ or $r=-\frac{1}{2}$, then correlation is called

• A. High negative
• B. High positive
• C. Low positive
• D. Moderate.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

value of $r=\frac{1}{2}$ & for negative moderate
correlation the value of $r=-\frac{1}{2}$
so choice (d) is correct
