Answer 1

To interpret the correlation coefficients, we need to remember that:

- A correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to 1.
- Values closer to 1 indicate a strong positive correlation; values closer to -1 indicate a strong negative correlation.
- Values around 0 indicate little to no correlation.

Given the coefficients:
- −0.99872348 (strong negative)
- −0.89234651 (strong negative)
- 0.72643969 (strong positive)
- 0.69846237 (strong positive)

We can rank these coefficients from weakest to strongest correlation:

1. 0.69846237 (weak positive)
2. 0.72643969 (stronger positive)
3. −0.89234651 (strong negative)
4. −0.99872348 (strongest negative)

Now, formatting the response with the weakest to strongest correlation:

**0.69846237, 0.72643969, −0.89234651, and −0.99872348.**
