Which of the following best describes the difference between the interpretation of the correlation coefficient and the beta coefficient for a regression equation expressing the relationship between variables X and Y?
A) The beta coefficient represents the linear relationship between X and Y, whereas the correlation coefficient represents the percent variability in Y explained by XB) The beta coefficient represents the difference between observed and expected values of Y, whereas the correlation coefficient represents the linear relationship between X and Y.C) The beta coefficient predicts increases or decreases in Y with increases or decreases in X, whereas the correlation coefficient provides a unit-free measure of the strength of the relationship.D) The correlation coefficient predicts increases or decreases in Y with increases or decreases in X, whereas the beta coefficient provides a unit-free measure of the strength of the relationship.

If the regression line is not a "good fit" what would be better to use to approximate a response variable?arrow_forwardThe relationship between total cholesterol (milligrams per deciliter) and BMI (Ratio of weight in kilograms to height in metres squared) of 20 participants is shown in the scatterplot below along with the least squares regression line. Which of the following statements is correct? a) The relationship between total cholesterol and BMI is linear as can be seen by the random scatter of the data above and below the least squares regression line. Both variables are metric and therefore it is appropriate to use Pearson's correlation to measure the linear association between the two variables. b) The relationship between total cholesterol and BMI is non-linear and since both variables are metric it is appropriate to use Pearson's correlation to measure the linear association between the two variables. c) The relationship between total cholesterol and BMI is non-linear as can be seen by the patterning of points around the least squares regression line and therefore it is not…arrow_forward
