The correlation between two variables is r=0.5. Which statement is true?

• Average values of y changes by 0.5 when x is increased by 1.

• Average values of x changes by 0.5 when y is increased by 1.

• x explains 25% of the variation in y.

• y explains 25% of the variation in x.

Answer explanation

The variation in y can be explained by the variation in x.
