If there is no relationship (linear or otherwise) between two quantitative variables as observed on a scatterplot, the value of the correlation coefficient, r, is likely to be which of the following? 1. closer to 12. closer to −13. closer to 04. either closer to −1 or 1

Option 3)  Closer to 0      

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation:

Values between 0 and 0.3 tells about a weak positive linear relationship, values between 0.3 and 0.7 shows a moderate positive correlation and a correlation of 0.7 and 1.0 states a strong positive linear relationship.

Values between 0 and -0.3 tells about a weak negative linear relationship, values between -0.3 and -0.7 shows a moderate negative correlation and a correlation value of of -0.7 and -1.0 states a strong negative linear relationship.

Thus, for the given situation, if there is no relationship between two quantitative variables then the value of the correlation coefficient, r, is close to 0

the answer is 13/48
