Question

The relationship between heavy alcohol use and family violence is +0.075. This shows:
a. There is an inverse relationship
b. There is a strong relationship between alcohol use and family violence
c. Alcohol use causes family violence
d. All of the above are true.

Answer 1

Because the relationship or correlation is positive, it cannot be inverse (a). We can only say there is a strong association if the number is close to one (1). So, d cannot be true. Your answer is c.
