Which of the following could not be the value of a correlation coefficient?
-0.683
0.197
1.000
-1.369
Solution
A correlation coefficient is a coefficient that illustrates a quantitative measure of some type of correlation and dependence, meaning statistical relationships between two or more random variables or observed data values
It has a value between +1 and 1 inclusive, where 1 is total positive correlation, 0 is no correlation, and 1 is total negative correlation
Thus for the option the correlation coefficeint should lie between -1<r<1
Here -1.369 lies outside the region therefore it cannot be possible
answer is option D
