Correlation Coefficient

The correlation coefficient is a number "r" such that: 

• -1<r<1

• -1>r>1

• -1≤r≤1

• -1≥r≤1

Determine the Correlation Coefficient and decide whether it is weak, moderate, or strong.

• -0.19 weak

• -0.19 moderate

• 0.04 weak

• 0.04 strong

Estimate the correlation coefficient

• r=-1

• r=1

• r=-0.5

• r=0.5

Estimate the correlation coefficient for this scatterplot.
