Two variables are correlated with r = 0.44. which description best describes the strength and direction of the association between the variables? question 10 options: strong positive moderate positive strong negative moderate negative

A moderate positive correlation best describes the strength and direction of the association between the variables. R = 0.44 means that the independent variable could make a positive 0.44 increase to the dependent variable. R correlation varies from 0 to 1 where 0 means the weakest correlation and 1 mean the strongest correlation. Therefore, 0.44 could be classified as moderate correlation. The minus and positive of the correlation coefficient show the direction between the variables.

Oh i'm sorry. didn't see the options
