A study finds that there is no connection between safety training and the number of injuries suffered in a factory. Which correlation coefficient would best represent this finding

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A correlation coefficient of 0 would indicate no relationship between safety training and the number of injuries, but the question asks for the best correlation coefficient to represent the finding that there is no connection. A correlation coefficient close to 0, like -0.08, suggests a weak or negligible relationship. The other options, which are negative or positive and further from 0, suggest some level of relationship between safety training and the number of injuries, which goes against the finding of the study.
