The closer the value of the correlation coefficient to -1 or +1, the ____ the linear relationship between the two variable is. *

Sagot :

stronger

Explanation:

The closer the value of the correlation coefficient is to 1 or -1, the stronger the relationship between the two variables and the more the impact their fluctuations will have on each other. If the value of r is 1, this denotes a perfect positive relationship between the two and can be plotted on a graph as a line that goes upwards, with a high slope. If the value of r is 0.5, this will denote a positive relationship between the two variables and it can be plotted on a graph as a line that goes upward, with a moderate slope. If the value of r is 0, there is no relationship at all between the two variables. If the value of r is -0.5, this will denote a negative relationship between the two variables and it can be plotted on a graph as a line that goes downwards with a moderate slope. If the value of r is -1, it will denote a negative relationship between the two variables and it can be plotted on a graph as a line that goes downwards with a steep slope.

If the value of the correlation coefficient is between 0.1 to 0.5 or -0.1 and -0.5, the two variables in the relationship are said to be weakly related. If the value of the correlation coefficient is between 0.9 and 1 or -0.9 and -1, the two variables are extremely strongly related.

Have a good day!
