To interpret the correlation coefficients and list them in order from weakest to strongest, we need to understand that correlation coefficients range from -1 to 1. The closer a value is to 1 or -1, the stronger the correlation; positive values indicate a positive correlation, while negative values indicate a negative correlation.

Here are the correlation coefficients provided:

  1. −0.99872348 (strong negative correlation)
  2. −0.89234651 (strong negative correlation)
  3. 0.72643969 (moderate positive correlation)
  4. 0.69846237 (moderate positive correlation)

Now, we can list them in order from weakest to strongest:

  1. 0.69846237 (weakest)
  2. 0.72643969 (slightly stronger)
  3. −0.89234651 (stronger negative correlation)
  4. −0.99872348 (strongest)

So the final order from weakest to strongest is:

0.69846237, 0.72643969, −0.89234651, −0.99872348

The correct response from your options would be:

0.69846237, 0.72643969, negative 0.89234651, and negative 0.99872348.
