Which of the following r- values represents the strongest correlation?

Question

A) 0.92

B) 0.74

C) 0.29

D)0.50

Answer 1

A) 0.92 represents the strongest correlation. A correlation value r will always be between -1 and 1. The sign (+ or -) represents the direction, while the numerical value represents the strength of the relationship between the two variables. The higher the r value - or more accurately, the higher the absolute of the r value - the stronger your correlation. Hope this helps!
