Answer 1

To provide you with the best-estimated correlation coefficient, I would need information about the data you are referencing, such as the relationship between two variables or a scatter plot. However, I can help explain the meanings of the correlation coefficients you provided:

- **-1**: Perfect negative correlation. As one variable increases, the other decreases perfectly.
- **1**: Perfect positive correlation. As one variable increases, the other increases perfectly.
- **0.5**: Moderate positive correlation. There is a positive relationship, but it's not perfect.
- **-0.5**: Moderate negative correlation. There is a negative relationship, but it's not perfect.

If you can provide context or describe the relationship between the variables you are examining, I can help you determine which correlation coefficient might be the best estimate.
