Log On
If a correlation coefficient of r = 0.642 was found between two variables in a sample of paired data that were measured in feet, the value of r would change by a factor of twelve if the data were converted to inches and r was computed again.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! No; r wouldn't change at all. R does not depend
on the units of the data: it is a measure of the
correlation of the data.
