Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Without the actual data, it is impossible to calculate the sample correlation coefficient. Therefore, this question requires some knowledge of the possible range of values for the correlation coefficient, which is between -1 and 1. The closer the coefficient is to 1 or -1, the stronger the correlation between the variables. Based on the answer choices given, the highest value is 0.8736, which is closer to 1 than the other options. Therefore, B is the best choice.
