Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A correlation coefficient of +.01 represents the weakest degree of relationship as it is close to zero and indicates a very weak positive relationship between the two variables. Correlation coefficients closer to -1 or +1 indicate a stronger negative or positive relationship respectively, while coefficients closer to zero indicate a weaker relationship. Therefore, options A and D represent a strong positive and moderate negative relationship respectively, while option B represents a perfect negative relationship.
