two r values are reported as r 0498 p 0004 and r 0528 p 00

two r values are reported as r = -0.498 p 0.004 and r = -0.528 p 0.002 (Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (two tailed) Describe each r value in words, indicating which would be more statistically significant, and provide a rationale for your answer

Solution

r= -0.498 is negative correlation, the relation between the 2 variables is when it moves to the positive value 1.

Here, we can take this to the conclusion it is more significant to the corrleation r = -0.528, since it is larger distance to the positive one
