which of these is not a possible r - value?\na. 0.2\nb. 1.75\nc. -0.1\nd. -0.5

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the range of r - value

The correlation coefficient (r) has a range of (- 1\leq r\leq1).

Step2: Check each option

  • Option A: (0.2) is between (-1) and (1).
  • Option B: (1.75>1), so it is not in the range of possible (r) - values.
  • Option C: (-0.1) is between (-1) and (1).
  • Option D: (-0.5) is between (-1) and (1).

Answer:

B. 1.75
