SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the comparison of correlation coefficients for two data sets, Set A and Set B. Set A has a correlation coefficient of r = -0.75, while Set B has r = +0.55. The consensus is that Set A exhibits a stronger relationship due to its correlation coefficient being closer to -1, indicating a stronger negative correlation compared to the positive correlation of Set B.

Homework Statement


The correlation coefficient for each of two data sets is calculated. Set A has r = -0.75 while Set B has r = +0.55. Which set (A or B) has the stronger strength of relationship?


Homework Equations

I think -0.75?



The Attempt at a Solution



I think Set A r = -.75 is stronger because it is closer to -1
