Exercise: EXERCISES | Q: 1 | (Page 15)
For More Understanding

Explanation

Option (iii) is correct because the correlation coefficient is a pure number independent of units of measurement. The textbook explicitly states under the properties of the correlation coefficient that 'rr has no unit' and 'units of measurement are not part of rr'. It provides the specific example that the correlation between height in feet and weight in kilograms is a unitless value (e.g., 0.7).
