| Frequent food questionnaires (FFQ) are a simple way to obtain  information on the foods individuals consume by asking them  questions about typical amounts of food consumed in a day or week  or month. A more accurate picture is obtained by obtaining a  detailed food diary (DR) for several days, randomly chosen over a  certain time period. The data obtained from a frequent food  questionnaire can be compared with the food diary to assess the  validity of the questionnaire. The correlation between alcohol  consumption from the food questionnaire and diary was r =  0.89 based on seven individuals. Based on the seven individuals for  whom data is available, which statement is INCORRECT?

Solution
The statement \"Because r > 0, the amount that is truly consumed is always larger than what is stated on the FFQ.\".
Positive correlation between two variables shows that as one variable increases second also increases.
