Question

question 3 which of the following correlation coefficients indicates the weakest relationship between two variables? +.75 -.36 +.15 -.97 0/16 pts

Explanation:

Step1: Recall correlation coefficient concept

The closer the absolute - value of the correlation coefficient is to 0, the weaker the relationship between two variables.

Step2: Calculate absolute - values

+0.75

= 0.75,

- 0.36

= 0.36,

+0.15

= 0.15,

- 0.97

= 0.97.

Step3: Compare absolute - values

0.15 < 0.36 < 0.75 < 0.97.

Answer:

+0.15
