Which of the following statements is correct?
选项:
A.The larger the value of correlation coefficient is, the weaker the linear relationship will be.
B.The smaller the absolute value of correlation coefficient is, the weaker the linear relationship will be.
C.The smaller the value of correlation coefficient is, the weaker the linear relationship will be.
解释:
B is correct.
When the correlation coefficient equals 1.00, the variables have the strongest positive linear relationship. When the correlation coefficient equals -1.00, the variables have the strongest negative linear relationship. When the correlation coefficient equals 0, the variables have no linear relationship. Therefore, the smaller the absolute value of correlation coefficient is, the weaker the linear relationship will be.
一定要用绝对值对么?
