Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Correlation coefficients range from -1 to 1, where -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation, and values closer to 0 indicate weaker correlations. Therefore, -1.0 (perfect negative correlation) is the strongest, followed by 0.87 and -0.86 (both strong but less than perfect correlations), and finally 0.59 (a moderate positive correlation).
