1. Which of the following correlation coefficients represents the weakest relationship between two variables? -59 +.10 -1.00 +.76 2. Explain why a correlation coefficient of .00 or close to .00 may not mean that there is no relationship between the variables. 3. Draw a scatterplot representing a strong negative correlation between depression and self-esteem. Make sure you label the axes correctly.
