In the image, you are asked to match different correlation coefficients with their descriptions of correlation strength and direction.

Here’s how you should match them:

1. -0.44: This is a negative correlation, but it's not very strong. It should match with weak negative correlation.
2. +0.79: This is a relatively high positive correlation, indicating a strong relationship. It should match with strong positive correlation.
3. -0.97: This is a very high negative correlation, meaning the variables are strongly related in a negative way. It should match with strong negative correlation.
4. +0.31: This is a positive correlation, but it is not very strong. It should match with weak positive correlation.

Summary of Matches:

• -0.44: Weak negative correlation
• +0.79: Strong positive correlation
• -0.97: Strong negative correlation
• +0.31: Weak positive correlation

Would you like more details or have any questions? Here are five related questions for practice:

1. What would be considered a perfect positive correlation?
2. What value represents no correlation?
3. How would you describe a correlation of +0.05?
4. What does a negative correlation indicate about the relationship between two variables?
5. Can a correlation value exceed 1 or be less than -1?

Tip:

When interpreting correlation values, remember that closer to ±1 indicates a stronger relationship, while values near 0 indicate weaker relationships.
