Answer 1

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

• A coefficient close to 1 indicates a strong positive correlation.
• A coefficient close to -1 indicates a strong negative correlation.
• A coefficient around 0 indicates no correlation.

The correlation coefficients given are:

• −0.99872348 (strong negative)
• −0.89234651 (strong negative)
• 0.72643969 (moderate positive)
• 0.69846237 (weaker positive)

Now, we will list these in order from weakest to strongest correlation:

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

Therefore, the correct interpretation from weakest to strongest correlation is:

0.69846237, 0.72643969, −0.89234651, and −0.99872348.
