A) The variable that comes earliest in time causes the other variable
B) There is a high level of association between the two variables
C)The two variables have an association with an outcome variable
D)There are no extraneous variables at work in the situation

Respuesta :

Using correlation coefficients, it is found that the correct option is given by:

B) There is a high level of association between the two variables.

What is a correlation coefficient?

  • It is an index that measures correlation between two variables, assuming values between -1 and 1.
  • If it is positive, the relation is positive, that is, they are direct proportional. If it is negative, they are inverse proportional.
  • If the absolute value of the correlation coefficient is greater than 0.6, the relationship is strong.

In this problem, it is said that the correlation between them is high, that is, strong, hence there is a high level of association, which means that option B is correct.
