a. The correlation coefficient cannot be less than -1.0.

b. The order in which you state the variables will not change the correlation coefficient. The correlation coefficient of x and y is always the same as the correlation coefficient of y and x.

c. A correlation coefficient of -.8 indicates a strong negative association.

d. You cannot find a correlation between one quantitative and one categorical variable.

e. If the correlation coefficient is -.8, then the association is negative, so students who sit father away tend to score lower.

f. You can never conclude cause-and-effect based solely on the value of the correlation coefficient.
