To find: correct interpretation from the give statement
Answer to Problem 1PT
Option (d)is the correct interpretation
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Generally, the linear relationship between two variables is defined as follows:
Here, the linear relationship is based on the value of slope, b
It is known that,
Where r is the
It is given that the correlation coefficient is zero.
Then, the slope of the linear relationship is also zero which indicates that there is no linear relationship between both the variables.
Hence, a correct interpretation of the given statement would be that there is no linear relationship between number of activities and grade point average for students at this school because a correlation coefficient of 0.
Conclusion:
Therefore, Option (d)is thecorrect interpretation
