Q:

Which of the following is a description of the data with a correlation coefficient of 0.1?low positive correlationlow negative correlationno correlationhigh negative correlation

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:A.  Low positive correlation.Step-by-step explanation:We have been given that a data set has a correlation coefficient of 0.1. We are asked to find the type of correlation.      We know that a correlation coefficient closer to 1 is known as strong positive linear relationship.A correlation coefficient closer to -1 is known as strong negative linear relationship.Weaker relationships have values of coefficient  closer to 0.Since the given data has a correlation coefficient of 0.1, which is closer to 0, therefore, our data set has a low positive correlation and option A is the correct choice.
