Answer:B
Which one of the following correlation coefficients indicates the strongest relationship?
A. -03 B. -78 C. +56 D. +70
Explanation: B) The strongest correlation of the four choices is represented by -0.78. It is NOT the sign (direction) that determines strength; it is the closeness of the correlation to either +1.00 or -1.00. A correlation of -0.78 represents a fairly strong negative relationship between the factors being correlated.
