When r is zero than both regression coefficients are________?

Correct answer: A. 0

  • A. 0
  • B. 1
  • C. 2
  • D. Infinity

Explanation

The regression coefficients satisfy b_yx = r(s_y/s_x) and b_xy = r(s_x/s_y). Therefore, when r is zero and the standard deviations are nonzero, both regression coefficients are zero.
