Answer 1

To interpret the correlation coefficients and order them from weakest to strongest, we need to consider both the magnitude and the sign of the coefficients. The values range from -1 to 1, where:

- A value of 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation.
- A value of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation.
- A value of 0 indicates no correlation.

Coefficients that are closer to -1 or 1 indicate stronger correlations, while those closer to 0 indicate weaker correlations.

Here are the correlation coefficients listed:

1. **0.69846237** (positive correlation, weaker than the others)
2. **0.72643969** (positive correlation, slightly stronger than 0.69846237)
3. **-0.89234651** (strong negative correlation)
4. **-0.99872348** (very strong negative correlation, closest to -1)

With the above analysis, the order from weakest to strongest correlation is:

- 0.69846237
- 0.72643969
- -0.89234651
- -0.99872348

From the options provided, the closest match would likely be:

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