If the dependent variable increases as the independent variable increases in an estimation equation, the coefficient of correlation will be in the range

0 to - 1
0 to - 0
0 to - 0.05
0 to 1

The correct answer is A. 0 to -1.

The coefficient of correlation is a measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. It is a number between -1 and 1, inclusive. A value of 0 indicates no linear relationship, a positive value indicates a positive linear relationship, and a negative value indicates a negative linear relationship.

In the case where the dependent variable increases as the independent variable increases, the coefficient of correlation will be a positive number. This is because the two variables are positively correlated.

The options B, C, and D are incorrect because they are not within the range of possible values for the coefficient of correlation.
