Question

Select the values of r, below, that represent a low or no correlation

0.8

0.3

0.1

-0.2

-0.5

1

-0.001

Answer 1

0.3, 0.1, -0.2, and -0.001.

Thinking of this as a percentage, a perfect fit would be 100%, or 1 (-1 if it is a negative correlation). All of the values above, thinking of them as percentages, are less than a 50% fit; therefore they are not strong correlations.
