Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A correlation coefficient is specifically designed to measure the degree of association between two variables. Option A is incorrect as a variable matrix is a way of organizing and displaying data, but does not measure association. Option B is incorrect as an independent variable is a variable that is manipulated in an experiment, but does not necessarily measure association between two variables.
