The larger the absolute value of the t statistic of the slope in a simple linear

Question

The larger the absolute value of the t statistic of the slope in a simple linear regression, the stronger the linear relationship exists between X and Y.

Select one: True False The larger the absolute value of the t statistic of the slope in a simple linear regression, the stronger the linear relationship exists between X and Y.
Select one: True False

Explanation / Answer

The co-relation between the variables x and y depends on the way in which the data points are scattered on the graph and not on the steepness or slope of the line of fit.

If the data points are closely arranged resembling a straight line, it suggests a strong relationship between the variables.

However, on the other hand, the slope only indicates how many units of "y" increases, on average, per one unit increase in "x"

Answer: FALSE
