If the relationship between the two variables x and y is given by 2x + 3y + 4 = 0, then the value of the correlation coefficient between x and y is ____.. |
|
Answer» Step-by-step explanation: Take this as a theorem : If y=a+bx,then the correlation coefficient between X and Y ,R, is +1 if b>0 and is -1 if b<0. That is,it depends on the SLOPE of the GIVEN straight line. If it positive,r=+1 and if it negative,r=-1. Now,COMING to the given question; Y=-2/3X-4/3. Here,the slope is negative. Hence,r=-1. Therefore,the correlation coefficient between X and Y is -1. |
