a) the correlatoin between sexual satisfaction and compatiblity is .459

b) the squared correlation between sexual satisfaction and compatibility is 79%

c) the squared correlation coefficient between sexual satisfaction and compatibility can be positive or negative

d) the correlation between sexual satisfaction and compatibility is always positive
