Answer 1

To evaluate the correlation coefficients from weakest to strongest, we need to consider their absolute values. A correlation coefficient can range from -1 to 1, where:

- Values closer to 1 indicate a strong positive correlation.
- Values closer to -1 indicate a strong negative correlation.
- Values close to 0 indicate a weak correlation.

The provided correlation coefficients are:

1. **-0.89234651** (absolute value: 0.89234651)
2. **0.72643969** (absolute value: 0.72643969)
3. **-0.99872348** (absolute value: 0.99872348)
4. **0.69846237** (absolute value: 0.69846237)

Now we can evaluate their absolute values to rank them:

- **0.69846237** (weakest)
- **0.72643969**
- **-0.89234651**
- **-0.99872348** (strongest)

Thus, in order from weakest to strongest correlation, we have:

**0.69846237, 0.72643969, -0.89234651, -0.99872348**

So the correct answer is:

**0.69846237, 0.72643969, -0.89234651, and -0.99872348**
