Step 1
Option A:If the correlation coefficient is 1, then the slope must be 1 as well.
is FALSE since we are not having this kind of rule.
Option B:If the correlation between two variables is close to 0.01, then there is a very weak linear relation between them.
is TRUE because zero correlation means there is no linear relationship.
Step 2
Option C: Correlation coefficient and the slope always have the same sign (positive or negative).
It is TRUE because sign of correlation shows the direction of relationship.
Option D: Correlation measures the strength of linear association between two numerical variables.
It is TRUE.
Therefore Option A is False.
