It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

-.91 is stronger, +3.45 is strong.

I am just going by magnitude here because none of that makes any sense.

I have a lot of thoughts about what the answers could be, but without more information than is given, I don't know which are correct.

It may actually be +.82 if positive is supposed to be... stronger. I would drop the class if this is any representation of it.

Gravs answers make sense if the number is the slope of the trend line of the dataset. In that case, the greater the magnitude of the slope, the more trend there is in the data; if the data were random, you'd expect the slope to be about 0 (flat line).

Well, if as I stated, the correlation is the slope of the trend line, then only the magnitude matters in the strength of the correlation. A strong negative correlation is still a strong correlation; for example, average rainfall and days of draught would have a negative slope.

Is this a Statistics Class? Cause if it is, may God have mercy on your soul.
