1 answer

The r-value, or Pearson correlation coefficient, ranges from -1 to 1. Therefore, any value outside this range is not a possible r-value.

In the options you provided:

  • -0.6 is a valid r-value.
  • 0.6 is a valid r-value.
  • -1.3 is not a valid r-value (since it is outside the range).
  • 0.3 is a valid r-value.

So the answer is -1.3, as it is not a possible r-value.
