Solution:
Question 1) If there is no correlation between two variables, what is the value of the correlation coefficient?
Correlation coefficient is always between -1 to +1.
If correlation coefficient = -1 then there is perfect negative and if it is +1 , then there is perfect positive correlation between two variables.
If correlation coefficient = 0 , then there is no or 0 correlation between two variables.
Thus correct option is: b. 0
Question 2) In a scatter diagram, on which axis is the dependent variable always recorded?
In a scatter diagram, the dependent variable always recorded on Y axis and independent variable is recorded on X axis,
Thus correct answer is: b. y axis
Question 3) What is the dependent and independent variable?
independent variable is the variable which does not depends on another variable or it does not have any effect of other variable.
whereas dependent variable is variables which is affected by another variable directly or indirectly.
Thus time does not depend on quantities produced whereas quantities produced depends on time consumed.
Thus
dependent variable is: quantities produced
and independent variable is: time.
