Answer

False.

Work Step by Step

If the linear correlation coefficient is close to one, then there is a positive linear association and if it is close to -1, then there is a negative linear association. If the linear correlation coefficient is close to 0, then the two variables have no linear relation. However, the variables can still have a relation (just not a linear one). Hence, the statement is False.
