Answer:
B. -0.45
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming the values you have provided are pertaining to the correlation coefficient.
The correlation coefficient (r) is used to describe how strongly points are correlated and in which direction they are correlated. This correlation coefficient ranges between -1 and 1: [tex]-1\le r\le1[/tex]
If the correlation coefficient is negative, the correlation is down-sloped or in other words as the variable on the x-axis increases, the variable on the y-axis decreases.
If the correlation coefficient is positive, the correlation is upward-sloped or in other words as the variable on the x-axis increases, the variable on the y-axis also increases.
The strength of the correlation can be analyzed by the absolute value of the correlation coefficient (r). So if you want to compare two correlation coefficients and say which has a stronger correlation, you would first take the absolute value and then compare which is larger as such: [tex]|r|[/tex]
In this case the -0.45 is technically less than the 0.34, although the absolute value indicates it is a stronger correlation, just in a different direction. You can compare all the other options and -0.45 has the largest absolute value.
