A correlation coefficient is a value between -1 and 1 that shows how close of a good fit the regression line is. For example a regular line has a correlation coefficient of 1. A regression is a best fit and therefore has a correlation coefficient close to one. the closer to one the more accurate the line is to a non regression line.

"If coefficient of correlation, "r" between two variables is zero, does it mean that there is no relationship between the variables? Justify your answer".
The strength of the linear relationship between the two variables in the regression equation is the correlation coefficient, r, and is always a value between -1 and 1, inclusive. The regression coefficient is the slope of the line of the regression equation.
No, the correlation coefficient is a measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables, and it ranges from -1 to 1. It cannot be represented as a percentage.
A correlation coefficient of 0.15 indicates a weak positive relationship between the two variables. This means that as one variable increases, there is a slight tendency for the other variable to also increase, but the relationship is not strong or consistent. It suggests that other factors may be influencing the variables, and the correlation is not significant enough to imply a definitive link.
If you remove certain data points from a dataset, the correlation coefficient may be affected depending on the nature of the relationship between the removed data points and the remaining data points. If the removed data points have a strong relationship with the remaining data, the correlation coefficient may change significantly. However, if the removed data points have a weak or no relationship with the remaining data, the impact on the correlation coefficient may be minimal.
