If $r_{xy}$ = 0 the variable x and y are ______________. |
linearly related not linearly related independent inversly related |
not linearly related |
The correct answer is Option 2: not linearly related
• If r = 1 or r = –1 the correlation is perfect and there is exact linear relation. • A high value of r indicates strong linear relationship. Its value is said to be high when it is close to +1 or –1. • A low value of r (close to zero) indicates a weak linear relation. But there may be a non-linear relation.
