      Question

       If r xy = 0,

      then:
      A b_yx = 0 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B b_xy = 0 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Both (a) and (b) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Neither (a) or (b) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E b_yx ≠ b_xy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      If the regression coefficients are both 0 then r is 0. The reasoning for either one of them being 0 holds true mathematically but in the econometrics sense, rxy = 0, means that there is no linear relationship between x and y as covariance is 0; so one of the regression coefficient being non-zero would indicate existence of a relationship between the two variables. Hence, option c is the most appropriate one.
