Question

if you have a correlation coefficient of r=-.82 what type of correlation does your data have?

QUESTION 1 If you have a Correlation Coefficient of r = -.82. What type of correlation does your data have? Positive Linear Correlation O Negative Linear Correlation Nonlinear Correlation

Answer 1

r = 0	No linear relationship or no linear correlation
r = + 1	A perfect positive linear relationship – as one variable increases in its values, the other variable also increases in its values through an exact linear rule.
r = - 1	A perfect negative linear relationship – as one variable increases in its values, the other variable decreases in its values through an exact linear rule.
r = 0 to r = 0.3	A weak positive linear relationship through a shaky linear rule.
r = 0 to r = - 0.3	A weak negative linear relationship through a shaky linear rule.
r = 0.3 to r =0.7	A moderate positive linear relationship through a fuzzy-firm linear rule.
r = - 0.3 to r = - 0.7	A moderate negative linear relationship through a fuzzy-firm linear rule.
r = 0.7 to r = 1	A strong positive linear relationship through a firm linear rule.
r = - 0.7 to r = - 1	A strong negative linear relationship through a firm linear rule.

Answer: Negative Linear Correlation
