The American Health Information Management Association conducted a study on job stress and job satisfaction in HIM professionals with more than 5 years of experience. The researchers at AHIMA who had professionals with 5 or more years' HIM experience rate their stress on a scale of 1-5, as shown in the chart above. Both job satisfaction and job stress are continuous variables. If the AHIMA researchers want to assess both the direction and the degree of the relationship between these two continuous variables, they may choose to compute the

options:

A)	Pearson correlation coefficient.

B)	Danbury correlation coefficient.

C)	Continuous correlation coefficient.

D)	Variable correlation coefficient.
