Answer:
-0.02
Explanation:
As you move closer to 0, the correlation gets weaker and weaker until when it hits 0, it's exactly no correlation. Since this question is asking which correlation coefficient would represent ALMOST no correlation, we have to find the number that has the closest absolute-value distance to 0.
- [tex]|1.00| = 1.00[/tex]
- [tex]|.87| = .87[/tex]
- [tex]|-0.98| = 0.98[/tex]
- [tex]|-0.02| = 0.02[/tex]
As you can see, -0.02 is the closest to 0, so -0.02 is the answer.
