SOLUTION 7
Which of the following measures the degree of linear association between two variables?
a. covariance
It enables us to find the degree of linear association between two variables. Further used in the calculation of correlation coefficient
QUESTION 8
If the sample size becomes larger, to which distribution does the sampling distribution of the sample mean converge?
a. Normal distribution.
According to the Central limit theorem as the sample size becomes larger the distribution of the sample mean converges to the normal distribution.
