Answer 1

To interpret the correlation coefficients and list them from weakest to strongest, we need to consider both the magnitude and the sign of each coefficient:

• −0.99872348: Very strong negative correlation
• −0.89234651: Strong negative correlation
• 0.72643969: Strong positive correlation
• 0.69846237: Moderate positive correlation

When ordering from weakest to strongest, we consider the following:

1. 0.69846237 (weakest positive correlation)
2. 0.72643969 (stronger positive correlation)
3. −0.89234651 (strong negative correlation)
4. −0.99872348 (strongest negative correlation)

So the correct order from weakest to strongest is:

0.69846237, 0.72643969, −0.89234651, −0.99872348.

Hence, the correct response is:

0.69846237, 0.72643969, −0.89234651, and −0.99872348.
