Q.4 (A) (iii) If \(b_{YX}\gt 1\) then \(b_{XY}\) is _____.

D. \(\lt 1\)
1 answer
Best answer
Answer: D. \(\lt 1\)
Answer: (d) \(\lt 1\)
\(b_{YX}\cdot b_{XY}=r^2\le 1\). If \(b_{YX}\gt 1\), then \(b_{XY}\le\frac{1}{b_{YX}}\lt 1\). (Both regression coefficients have the same sign, so it cannot be negative here.)
