Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Pearson correlation coefficient of -0.80 shows the strongest relationship between two variables. The closer the coefficient is to -1 or 1, the stronger the relationship between the variables. A coefficient of 0 indicates no relationship. A coefficient of 0.75 indicates a strong positive relationship, but not as strong as a coefficient of -0.80. Coefficients of 0.20 and 0.03 indicate weak positive relationships.
