Question

correlation coefficient quick check
interpret the following correlation coefficients and list them in order from weakest to strongest. (1 point)
-0.89234651
0.69846237
0.72643969
-0.99872348

Explanation:

Step1: Take absolute values

$|-0.89234651|=0.89234651$, $|0.69846237|=0.69846237$, $|0.72643969|=0.72643969$, $|-0.99872348|=0.99872348$

Step2: Order absolute values smallest to largest

$0.69846237 < 0.72643969 < 0.89234651 < 0.99872348$

Step3: Map back to original coefficients

Match each absolute value to its original correlation coefficient.

Answer:

Weakest to strongest: $0.69846237$, $0.72643969$, $-0.89234651$, $-0.99872348$
