Is there a correlation between a woman's breast size and her IQ?
No
does The strength of the correlation between two variables depend on the sign of the coefficient of correlation?
No, it depends upon the size of the coefficient of correlation: the closer to ±1 the stronger the correlation.When the correlation coefficient is positive, one variable increases as the other increases; when negative one increases as the other decreases.
What is the average size of the male foot?
The average size of the male foot can vary from different cultures and regions. But, taken all males on Earth into consideration, the average size of the male foot is between 9 and 10.
Why do economists often say that correlation does not necessarily imply causality?
It's not only economists that offer this warning. It's true anywhere that correlation coefficients are to be interpreted. Let me offer an example from psychology. In many populations there's a significant correlation between the shoe sizes of people and their intelligence quotients. But no-one would say that increasing a person's shoe size would increase their intelligence!
Which one of the following correlation coefficients indicates the weakest correlation Answer - 0.01 plus 0.021 plus 0.76 - 0.88?
Assuming that all of these coefficients are based on samples of the same size then the weakest correlation is -0.01 because its absolute value (0.01) is the smallest.
