Which r–value represents the strongest negative correlation?

Which r-value indicates the strongest negative correlation among the following options? –0.7, –0.22, 0.38, 0.9.

Option A is correct.The value of r = -0.7 represents the strongest negative correlation. Step-by-step explanation:A correlation is a  value that describes a relationship between two things  or variables. Strongest Negative Correlation says that closer a negative correlation to -1, the stronger the relationship between the two variables. From the options,  we have only two negative values i.e, r= -0.7 and r= -0.22.We have to find the strongest negative correlation r-value. By the definition, you can see that -0.7 is very closer to -1 , therefore, the  value of r = -0.7 represents the strongest negative correlation.

The best answer to the statistics question above would be letter A. The r-value that represents the strongest negative correlation among the given choices would be -0.7. This is because the magnitude of the correlation ranges from .7 to .9 which indicates a strong correlation. The negative sign connotes the negative relationship.
