Given below are two statements one labelled as Assertion (A) and other labelled as Read the statements.
Assertion (A): In simple regression analysis, if the value of one regression coefficient (bxy) is less than 1.00, the value of second regression coefficient (byx) has to be less than 1.00
Reason (R): The correlation between two variables x and y is equal to the geometric mean between the two regression coefficients (bxy and byx)
