If the coefficient of determination between two variables is .81,what is the Pearson's correlation coefficient?

A) 0.19
B) 0.34
C) 0.66
D) 0.90

Pearson's Correlation Coefficient

A statistical measure of the linear relationship between two variables, ranging from -1 to 1.

Coefficient of Determination

A statistical measure, often represented as R^2, that represents the proportion of variance for a dependent variable that's predictable from an independent variable(s).

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The coefficient of determination (R^2) is the square of the Pearson's correlation coefficient (r). Given R^2 = .81, taking the square root gives r = ±0.9. However, since Pearson's correlation coefficient values are provided as positive, the correct answer is 0.90.
