The stronger correlation will be the one whose absolute value is closest to one. For example, r = -.78 is stronger than r=.65, because:

|r| = |-.78| = .78 > |r| = |.65| = .65

Which is strongest value for correlation coefficient -0.75 and 0.25?

The further the correlation coefficient is from 0 (ie the closer to ±1) the stronger the correlation.Therefore -0.75 is a stronger correlation than 0.25The strength of the correlation is dependant on the absolute value of the correlation coefficient; the sign of the correlation coefficient gives the "relative" slope of correlation line:+ve (0 to +1) means that as one variable increases the other also increases;-ve (0 to -1) means that as one variable increases the other decreases.


What implies a stronger linear relationship a correlation of plus 4 or a correlation of -6 and why?

Something is wrong. Correlations cannot be less than -1 or greater than 1.


does The strength of the correlation between two variables depend on the sign of the coefficient of correlation?

No, it depends upon the size of the coefficient of correlation: the closer to ±1 the stronger the correlation.When the correlation coefficient is positive, one variable increases as the other increases; when negative one increases as the other decreases.


What are the three ways to describe data in a scatter plot?

You can describe if there's any obvious correlation (like a positive or negative correlation), apparent outliers, and the corrlation coefficient, which is the "r" on your calculator when you do a regression model. The closer "r" is to either -1 or 1, the stronger that correlation is.


Which value of r indicates a stronger correlation than 0.40?

Any value between 0.40 and 1 or any value between -1 and -0.40.
