The linear correlation coefficient is a numerical value that ranges from -1.00 to +1.00. Describe in a sentence or two the meaning of each of these correlation coefficients:
a) -.96

A correlation coefficient of -0.96 means that you have a very strong negative correlation because the correlation coefficient is negative and it's very close to -1 (-1 means perfect negative correlation)

b) +.10

A correlation coefficient of +0.10 means that you have a weak positive correlation because the correlation coefficient is positive and it's closer to 0 than 1
