While r is closer to 1 the correlation is stronger, so the answer is 0.62

Answer: A. 0.62


Explanation:

As all the given r values are positive therefore, there is a positive correlation.

A positive correlation means that if one variable gets bigger, the other variable tends to get bigger.

The strongest linear relation is stipulated by a correlation coefficient 'r' of -1 or 1.

The weakest linear relation is stipulated by a correlation coefficient equal to 0.

Thus, the nearest number to 1 , represents the strongest correlation.

Therefore, A. 0.62 is the required answer which represents the strongest correlation. .
