Question

drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. match each correlation coefficient, r, to its description. weak negative correlation strong positive correlation strong negative correlation weak positive correlation r = 0.96 r = -0.83 r = -0.08 r = 0.06

Explanation:

Step1: Recall correlation rules

If $r>0$, positive correlation; if $r < 0$, negative correlation. $|r|\approx1$ is strong, $|r|\approx0$ is weak.

Step2: Analyze $r = 0.96$

Since $r=0.96>0$ and $|0.96|\approx1$, it is strong positive correlation.

Step3: Analyze $r=-0.83$

Since $r = - 0.83<0$ and $| - 0.83|\approx1$, it is strong negative correlation.

Step4: Analyze $r=-0.08$

Since $r=-0.08<0$ and $| - 0.08|\approx0$, it is weak negative correlation.

Step5: Analyze $r = 0.06$

Since $r=0.06>0$ and $|0.06|\approx0$, it is weak positive correlation.

Answer:

$r = 0.96$ $\to$ strong positive correlation
$r=-0.83$ $\to$ strong negative correlation
$r=-0.08$ $\to$ weak negative correlation
$r = 0.06$ $\to$ weak positive correlation
