Select the FALSE statement about the correlation coefficient (r). A. The correlation coefficient quantifies the strength of the linear relationship between two variables.
B. The sign of the correlation coefficient tells us if the pair of variables is positively or negatively associated.
C. The value of the correlation coefficient lies between -1 and 1.

answer: b

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
