answer: In this case, -0.50, -0.10, 0.60, 0.68, 0.98 are all correlation coefficients and -0.50 is the least and 0.98 is the greatest among the given correlation coefficients.

but why? The correlation coefficients can be ordered from least to greatest as:

-0.50, -0.10, 0.60, 0.68, 0.98

A correlation coefficient is a measure of the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. The value of the coefficient ranges from -1 to 1, where:

A coefficient of -1 represents a perfect negative correlation, meaning that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases.

A coefficient of 0 represents no correlation, meaning that there is no linear relationship between the two variables.

A coefficient of 1 represents a perfect positive correlation, meaning that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases.
