Answer 1

To interpret the correlation coefficients and list them in order from weakest to strongest, we need to understand that correlation coefficients range from -1 to 1. The closer a value is to 1 or -1, the stronger the correlation; positive values indicate a positive correlation, while negative values indicate a negative correlation.

Here are the correlation coefficients provided:

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

Now, we can list them in order from weakest to strongest:

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

So the final order from weakest to strongest is:

**0.69846237, 0.72643969, −0.89234651, −0.99872348**

The correct response from your options would be:

**0.69846237, 0.72643969, negative 0.89234651, and negative 0.99872348**.
