Imagine that a researcher correctly computes a correlation coefficient to quantify the relationship between two variables. In the data set that she works with, low scores on Variable X tend to be paired with low scores on Variable Y, and high scores on Variable X tend to be paired with high scores on Variable Y. Based on this data set, what type of correlation coefficient should the researcher expect to find

Positive value of correlation Coefficient

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation Coefficient value, R is a correlation measure which gives information about both the strength of association between two variables and also the type of association between them (negative or positive). R has a standardized value which ranges from - 1 to +1

Negative relationship between variables are depicted with negative (where one variable decreases as the other increases) R value while positive association (increase in one variable means leads to increase in the other variable) are depicted with positive R values.

Therefore, for the relationship described above, the correlation Coefficient will be positive.

step-by-step explanation:

divide, then simplify your answer.

1. make -15.66 ÷   5.8 a fraction. then divide.

2. simplify.  

3. final answer.
