Assuming that SS_Y is constant,which of the following correlations would have the largest SS_residual? A)r = -0.10 B)r = +0.40 C)r = -0.70 D)There is no relationship between the correlation and SS_residual.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The residual sum of squares (SS_residual) is largest when the correlation (r) between the variables is weakest, as a weaker correlation indicates that the model explains less of the variance in the data, leaving more unexplained variance, which is captured by the residuals. Among the given options, r = -0.10 represents the weakest correlation.
