    Question

    ย 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 โ‰  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.
