Let 𝑟 be the sample correlation coefficient for the data pairs (𝑥𝑖,𝑦𝑖),𝑖=1,...,𝑛(xi,yi),i=1,...,n. Then, the
sample correlation coefficient for the data pairs (𝑎+𝑏𝑥𝑖,𝑐+𝑑𝑦𝑖),𝑖=1,...,𝑛(a+bxi,c+dyi),i=1,...,n, provided
that 𝑏b and 𝑑d have the same sign, is

(𝑎𝑐+𝑏𝑑)𝑟

Let the correlation coefficient 𝑟r between two variables 𝑋X and 𝑌Y be zero. Then, the
variables 𝑋X and 𝑌Y are:

linearly related

not linearly related

same

Feedback:

Linearly related implies correlation coefficient not equal to zero. Zero correlation coefficient implies not
linearly related. Therefore option (a) is wrong. Now if X = Y , then there is a linear relationship
between them and hence the correlation coefficient is not equal to zero. Therefore, option (c) is
wrong. Option (b) is correct.

Accepted Answers:

not linearly related

If the values of the explanatory variable (𝑋X) is high and the corresponding values of the response
variable (𝑌Y) is low and vice versa, then (𝑋X) and (𝑌Y) are

Positively correlated.

Negatively correlated.

No relationship between the two variables.

The value of the correlation coefficient (𝑟r) will be zero.

Accepted Answers:

Negatively correlated.

A shopkeeper sales two brands of milk, 𝐴A and 𝐵B. The data of 1010 customers buying one of these

Consider the set of points (2, 6), (3, 8), (4, 10), (5, 14), (10, 𝑛) in the XY - plane. What should the
value of 𝑛n be so that the correlation between the X-values and Y -values is 1?

A value different from any of the above

No value for n can make r = 1

Feedback:

No linear relation is possible for the given data points such that the value of correlation coefficient
equal to 1. Therefore, option (e) is correct.
Accepted Answers:

No value for n can make r = 1
