hey chetan2u, how can one identify whether the statement in the 2nd part of the Q is a must be true or can be true statement? I marked the answer as No for the positive correlation because of one discrepancy in the data.The wording of the Q stem doesnt have the words may or can.so i thought the Q stem as the must be true statement.
