Which value of r indicates a stronger correlation: requals0.812 or requalsnegative 0.908? explain your reasoning?

For this case we have the following values of r:
 r = 0.812
 r = -0.908
 The first thing you should know is that the higher values of r, the higher the correlation.
 When the value of r is one, the correlation is perfect.
 When the value of r is very close to one, the correlation is good.
 Therefore, the value of r with the best correlation is:
 r = 0.812
 
 r = 0.812
