A.   Asymmetrical measure of association

B.   Control variable

C.   Correlation matrix

D.   Direct relationship

2: Control Variables other than the main independent variable that might influence the dependent variable and are, therefore, included in the statistical analysis.

B.   False

3: A table showing the correlation coefficients between variables are known as Correlation matrix ?

A.   First-order correlation

B.   Interaction
