Suppose We Are Considering the Relationship Between Two Variables Y

question 14

Multiple Choice

Suppose we are considering the relationship between two variables y and x. y is measured on the y-axis and x is measured on the x-axis, and the relationship between then is a straight line. Suppose that the slope of the line is equal to 1. This slope means that

• A) a change in x is associated with a bigger change in y.
• B) a change in x is associated with a smaller change in y.
• C) a change in x is associated with no change in y.
• D) a change in x is associated with an equal change in y.

A type of research method that involves measuring and assessing the statistical relationship between two variables.

Correlation Coefficients

Statistical measures that indicate the extent to which two variables fluctuate together, ranging from -1 to 1, where 0 means no correlation.

Experimental Control

A method used in scientific studies to minimize the influence of variables other than the one being studied, ensuring the results are due to the variable of interest.

Narrative Research
