Mrs. Morgan reviews an assessment that has a correlation coefficient of .45. Should Mrs. Morgan use this test? Why? No; the correlation coefficient is too low. No; a correlation coefficient must be at .80 to be considered reliable. Yes; if the test was published, it must be reliable to use. Yes; the correlation coefficient is considered adequate.
No; the correlation coefficient is too low.
