CORRECT
If the variable "hours spent in study" is positively correlated with the variable "sco
test," we can be certain that the score on the test can be perfectly predicted from
spent in study.
A) TRUE
B) FALSE
Feedback: A positive correlation means that the scores of one variable tend to
down in the same manner as scores on the other variable. Thus, if the hours sp
study positively correlate with scores on a test, then we can expect that stude
study the most typically get the highest test scores. This does not necessarily
the extra study causes higher scores. A correlation can only suggest cause and
this example it is possible that the students who get the highest scores would
high scores even if they did not study so much.
