Question
Which value of r indicates a stronger correlation :
r=0.815
or
r=−0.945?
Explain your reasoning.Choose the correct answer below.
r=−0.945
represents a stronger correlation because −0.945>0.815.r=0.815
represents a stronger correlation because −0.945>0.815.r=−0.945
represents a stronger correlation because 0.815>−0.945.r=0.815
represents a stronger correlation becauseExpert Solution
