Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf -0.92}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A correlation coefficient is a number ranging from -1 and 1 that measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship.

  • If it is a negative number, the linear relationship is also negative. If it's positive, the relationship is positive.
  • The closer it is to -1 or 1, the stronger the relationship.

Since the question only asks for the strongest relationship and does not ask for the direction (positive/negative), we can simply choose the number closest to -1/1. Therefore, the answer is -0.92.
