    zero correlation.
  • c)
    perfect positive correlation.
  • d)
    perfect negative correlation.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Jatin Singh answered
Scatter diagram is a simple visual method for getting some idea about correlation between two variables. A scatter diagram displaying plotted points on an upward sloping straight line denotes a perfect positive correlation between X and Y.

Qualitative characterstics can be measured through
  • a)
    Karl Pearson’s coefficient of correlation.
  • b)
    Spearman’s rank correlation.
  • c)
    Scatter diagram.
  • d)
    Fayol's diagram.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Shourya Goel answered
Statistical series in which variables are not capable of quantitative measurement, the correlation can be measured by Spearman’s rank correlation. It includes qualitative characterstics like, honesty, beauty etc.

The sign of the correlation is determined by the
  • a)
    standard deviation.
  • b)
    covariance between X and Y.
  • c)
    X variable.
  • d)
    Y variable.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Kalyan Desai answered
The sign of covariance between X and Y determines the sign of the correlation coefficient. The value of r does not contain any unit.

Correlation coefficient is denoted by
  • a)
    r
  • b)
    p
  • c)
    z
  • d)
    g
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
Correlation coefficient is denoted by r. If the two variables X and Y move in the same direction they are said to have positive relationship.

Value of r lying outside the range of -1 and +1, indicates
  • a)
    zero correlation.
  • b)
    strong correlation.
  • c)
    error in calculation.
  • d)
    weak correlation.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
The value of correlation coefficient lies between minus one and plus one. If in any exercise, the value of r is outside this particular range, it definitely indicates an error in calculation.

Y = a + bX, in the given linear equation, the intercept term is denoted by
  • a)
    a
  • b)
    b
  • c)
    X
  • d)
    Y
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
Y = a + bX, in linear equation, the intercept term is denoted by a. It is the point at which this line intersect at y-axis.
