Question

Select strong association, weak association, or moderate association to correctly classify the correlation coefficient.

0.6
-0.95
0.85
0.2

Answer 1

strong association- (-0.95)
weak association- (0.2)
moderate association- (0.6)

(0.85) could also be called strong but (-0.95) is stronger

Answer 2

Answer: 0.6 ⇒ Strong association

-0.95 ⇒ Strong association

0.85 ⇒ Strong association

0.2 ⇒ Weak association

Explanation:

Strong association: The value of correlation coefficient lies between -1 to -0.5 or 0.5 to 1.

Moderate association : The value of correlation coefficient lies between -0.5 to -0.3 or 0.3 to 0.5.

Weak association : The value of correlation coefficient lies between -0.3 to -0.1 or 0.1 to 3, then it indicates that there is weak association.

⇒ Correlation coefficient values 0.6, -0.95, 0.85 indicates that there is strong association as they lies between -1 to -0.5 or 0.5 to 1 and 0.2 indicates that there is weak association.
