Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pearson correlation is the appropriate correlation coefficient to assess the level of association between two metric variables, as it measures the linear relationship between the two variables. Burkett's t is not a commonly used correlation coefficient. Scatter diagram is a graphical representation of the data, which can be used to visualize the relationship between variables, but it does not provide a numerical measure of association. Likert correlation is not a valid correlation coefficient as it is used to assess the relationship between ordinal variables. Spearman's rho is a correlation coefficient used to assess the level of association between two ordinal variables.
