  c. there is no true relationship between the two variables in the total population.
  d. replication of the study would result in a higher correlation.

Question 2

If one compared an r of .90 and an r of .45 in terms of the magnitude of the relationship expressed, one would say that
 
  a. an r of .90 indicates twice as much relationship as an r of .45.
  b. an r of .90 indicates approximately four times as much relationship as an r of .45.
  c. an r of .90 indicates a high relationship, while an r of .45 indicates a low relationship.
