Correlation coefficient is ___________ with respect to x and y?
Correct answer: C. Symmetrical
- A. +vely
- B. Non-normal
- C. Symmetrical
- D. Skewed
Explanation
Correlation is symmetric because interchanging x and y does not change its value, so rxy = ryx. It is therefore neither skewed nor directional with respect to the two variables.
