Which value of r indicates a stronger correlation: r= 0.809 or r= -0.926? Explain your reasoning. Choose the correct answer below. O A. r=0.809 represents a stronger correlation because 0.809 > - 0.926. B. r= - 0.926 represents a stronger correlation because 0.809 > - 0.926. O C. r= - 0.926 represents a stronger correlation because |-0.926|> |0.809|. D. r= 0.809 represents a stronger correlation because |-0.926|> |0.809|.

Question
Which value of r indicates a stronger correlation: r= 0.809 or r= - 0.926? Explain your reasoning.
Choose the correct answer below.
O A. r= 0.809 represents a stronger correlation because 0.809 > – 0.926.
B. r= - 0.926 represents a stronger correlation because 0.809 > - 0.926.
OC. r= - 0.926 represents a stronger correlation because | -0.926| > |0.809|.
O D. r= 0.809 represents a stronger correlation because | - 0.926|> |0.809|.
