Which of the following is a property of the linear correlation coefficient r?
Answer
|
|
|
If all values of either the x or y variable are converted to a different scale, the value of r changes.
|
|
|
|
The correlation r measures the strength of a linear and nonlinear relationship.
|
|
|
|
The correlation r is not sensitive to outliers.
|
|
|
|
The value of r is always between -1 and 1 inclusive.
