      Question

      If the correlation coefficient (r) between two variables

      is -0.85, it indicates:
      A A weak negative relationship. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B No relationship. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C A perfect negative relationship. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D A strong negative linear relationship. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E A strong positive linear relationship. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The correlation coefficient (r) ranges from -1 to +1. Its absolute value indicates the strength: 0 = no linear relationship, ±1 = perfect linear relationship. Values closer to ±1 indicate strong relationships. Here, |-0.85| = 0.85 suggests a strong negative linear relationship.
