EET PG Medical – 2020 – Question – 109
 If one variable is given then you can find another variable by
a) Coefficient of variation
b) Coefficient of correlation
c) Coefficient of regression
d) Coefficient of determination
Show Answer
Correct Answer – C
Ans. C. Coefficient of regression
The coefficient of correlation tells about the strength of association but not about quantity. On the other hand, the coefficient of regression is used for quantification.
If we wish to know in an individual case the value of one variable, knowing the value of the other, we calculate what is known as the regression coefficient of one measurement to the other. It is customary to denote the independent variable by x and the dependent variable by y.
