A coefficient of correlation that is close to zero usually means there is no, or very little, relationship between the variables. Therefore, the weakest correlation coefficient is the one that is closest to zero. This is not the answer choice that is closest to zero.

The coefficient of correlation is a numerical measure that measures both the direction (positive or negative) and the strength of the linear association between the dependent and independent variables. The coefficient of correlation lies between ?1.0 and +1.0. When the correlation coefficient is positive (between 0 and +1), it means the dependent and independent variables move in the same direction. When the correlation coefficient is negative (between 0 and ?1), it means they move in opposite directions, i.e., when the independent variable goes up, the dependent variable goes down. When the coefficient of correlation is zero, it means either that there is no correlation between the two variables, or that the relationship between them is not linear. To identify the weakest correlation we need to determine the coefficient of correlation that is closest to 0. In this case it is ?.11.
