Reading a Strong Negative Coefficient
Captions available
The idea
An r of −0.60 is negative in direction and moderately strong, meaning higher values on one variable accompany lower values on the other.
In practice
Screen time and hours of sleep correlate at −0.60 across a school district.
Where people slip
Negative is a direction, not a weakness. This coefficient is far stronger than a +0.12.
