Question

you calculate a Pearson correlation coefficient when

a.you are interested in comparing group means

b.the independent variable is continuous and the dependent variable is dichotomous

c.the independent and dependent variables are borh continuous

d.the independent variable is categorical and the dependent variables is continuous

Answer 1

You calculate a Pearson correlation coefficient when

c. The independent and dependent variables are both continuous.

We assume in calculating of Pearson correlation coefficient that our two variables should be measured on a continuous scale. (i.e, they are measured at the interval or ratio level).

Hope this solution will help you to understand. If you are satisfied with the answer then please please give a like to this answer. Thank you.
