Question

6 multiple answer 2 points the direction of the relationship in a bivariate table is positive if the two variables vary in the same direction. negative if the two variables vary in the same direction. either positive or negative when the variables are measured at the ordinal or interval-ratio level. either positive or negative when the variables are measured at the nominal level.

Explanation:

• For a bivariate table, when two variables vary in the same direction (e.g., as one increases, the other also increases), the relationship is positive.
• When variables are measured at ordinal or interval - ratio levels, we can determine if the relationship is positive (same - direction variation) or negative (opposite - direction variation). Nominal - level variables do not have an inherent order to determine direction of relationship.

Answer:

A. positive if the two variables vary in the same direction.
C. either positive or negative when the variables are measured at the ordinal or interval - ratio level.
