I am having a terrible time with this multiple choice problem, please - will someone help me?
Pearson's r should be used when:
a)a researcher thinks that his variables have a linear relationship.
b)a researcher thinks that his variables have a curvilinear relationship.
c)they are particularly concerned with the direction of the correlation.
d)both a and b above.
