    Dear sir
    To identify The weakest relationship between two variables

    Should we look for the number which is close to 1 ?

    But why should it be close to 1 sir ( for it to be weak )

    A coefficient of +1 or -1 means that there is perfect correlation. The further it is from 1 (i.e. the closer to zero) then the weaker the correlation.

    Oh ok sir
    And the more closer it is to 1 the relationship is stronger

    And the more closer it is to zero
    Then the relationship is weak
