Q264 / 270 · NDA 2018 (Phase 2) · Mathematics
The set of bivariate observation $\left(\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{y}_1\right),\left(\mathrm{x}_2, \mathrm{y}_2\right), \ldots . .\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{n}}, \mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{n}}\right)$ are such that all the values are distinct and all the observations fall on a straight line with non-zero slope. Then the possible values of the correlation coefficient between x and y are
- A0 and 1 only
- B0 and -1 only
- C0,1 and -1
- Correct answerD-1 and 1 only
Solution
By definition.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
