Question

Which of the following r values represents the weakest correlation? A. 0.45 B. 0.55 C. 0.65 D. 0.35

Answer 1

D is the answer because it is closest to 0

Answer 2

Answer:

D. 0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

A correlation coefficient (r), shows the relation of dependent variable with the independent variable,

If it is near to 1 then it is positively stronger,

If it is near to -1 then it is negatively stronger,

While if it near to 0 then it is weaker,

Since,  0.65 > 0.55 > 0.45 > 0.35,

Thus, 0.35 is nearest to 0,

So, we can say that 0.35 is weakest correlation.
