Q:

Which of the following correlation coefficients represents the strongest correlation?O 0.0436809370 -0.313535265O-0.922107932O 0.854423006

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Option C (-0.922107932)Step-by-step explanation:Correlation is a concept which explains a linear relationship between two variables. The correlation constant lies between -1 and 1. 0 lies in the center of the interval. A negative correlation means an inverse relationship, and a positive correlation means a direct relationship. 0 technically means no linear relation between the variables. Further the correlation constant lies from 0, more the strength of the relationship. This means that closer the correlation to 1, stronger the positive relationship, and closer the correlation to -1, stronger the negative relationship. It can be seen that Option C (-0.922107932) is the correlation coefficient which is the largest in terms of the magnitude. Therefore, Option C is the correct choice!!!
