The Regression Equation · Exercise 2

Consider a sample least squares regression analysis between a dependent variable (Y) and an independent variable (X). A sample correlation coefficient of −1 (minus one) tells us that

(a) there is no relationship between Y and X in the sample
(b) there is no relationship between Y and X in the population
(c) there is a perfect negative relationship between Y and X in the population
(d) there is a perfect negative relationship between Y and X in the sample.
