If one wishes to assess the relation between a farming county's average annual temperature and the crop yield, it may be important to take into account the overlapping variability that crop yield and temperature share with rainfall. To do so, one would compute a:
a. partial correlation .
b. split-half reliability.
c. concurrent validity.
d. coefficient alpha.
