Let two lines of regression be and for some data. What is the value of correlation coefficient between and ?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Let the regression line of on be .
The regression coefficient of on is .
Let the regression line of on be .
The regression coefficient of on is .
The square of the correlation coefficient is given by .
Since , our assumption for the regression lines is correct. Furthermore, since both regression coefficients and are negative, the correlation coefficient must also be negative.
