C) Factor analysis
D) Multiple regression
E) Canonical correlation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple regression is the only technique listed that allows for the development of a mathematical relationship between two or more independent variables and an interval-scaled dependent variable. Product moment correlation only measures the strength of a linear relationship between two variables, while standard regression is not a specific statistical technique. Factor analysis and canonical correlation are both techniques used for exploring relationships between variables but are not specifically geared towards developing mathematical relationships between independent and dependent variables.
