Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Correlation Coefficient

The correlation coefficient, often denoted as \( r \), measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. It ranges from \(-1\) to \(1\), where:

  • \( r = 1 \) indicates a perfect positive linear relationship,
  • \( r = -1 \) indicates a perfect negative linear relationship,
  • \( r = 0 \) indicates no linear relationship.
Step 2: Analyzing the Given Statement

The statement claims that the range of the correlation coefficient is from \(0\) to \(1\). However, based on the definition, the range is actually from \(-1\) to \(1\). Therefore, the statement is incorrect.

Final Answer

The statement is False. The range of the correlation coefficient is from \(-1\) to \(1\).

\(\boxed{\text{False}}\)
