Question

1) The correlation coefficient determined for two variables has a value of 0.89. Describe, in words, the correlation between the two variables.

2) The correlation coefficient determined for two variables has a value of 0.13. Describe, in words, the correlation between the two variables.

3) The correlation coefficient determined for two variables has a value of -0.93. Describe, in words, the correlation between the two variables.

Answer 1

1) if correlation coefficient r = 0.89 then there is strong positive correlation between two variables , as one variable increases other variable also increases

2) if r = 0.13 then there is weak positive correlation between two variables , as one variable increases other also increases

3) if r = -0.93 then there is strong negative correlation between two variables , as one variable increases other decreases
