The sample correlation between two variables X and Y is calculated to be 0.43.  Which statement below is correct? a.The proportion of the variance in Y that is explained by the linear relationship between X and Y is 0.57. b.Since the sample correlation coefficient suggests a moderate positive linear association then there cannot be a nonlinear relationship between X and Y. c.The proportion of the variance in X that is explained by the linear relationship between X and Y is 0.43. d.Even though the sample correlation coefficient suggests a moderate positive linear association it may be the case that there is a nonlinear relationship between X and Y.
