Question

Which of the following values of r (the sample correlation coefficient) indicated a closer possible cause/effect relationship? (Circle the correct answer ) how would you use r to predict a future outcome? What might a negative correlation coefficient indicate? -0.733. +0.900 +0.812. -0.981 (2 pts.) Which of the following values of r (the sample correlation coefficient) indicate a closer possible cause/effect relationship? (Circle the correct answer.) How would you use r to predict a future outcome? What might a negative correlation coefficient indicate? 2. -0.733 +0.900 +0.812 0.981

Explanation / Answer

A closer cause/ effect relationship would be depicted when a correlation coefficient has a magnitude closer to one.

In the given options, the correlation of -0.981 represents a very strong cause/ effect relationship because it has a magnitude of 0.981 which is the closest to 1.

A negative correlation between 2 variables means that as one variable increases in value, the other value decreases and as one value decreases, the other variable value increases.
