2. Which 2 variables have the lowest correlation? What is the p value? What do you conclude about the relationship?
3. Which 2 variables have the highest correlation? What is the p value? What do you conclude about the relationship?4. Interpret the relationship between coping ability and stress from research.

Answer 1

Perceived control and Stress from Student Advising variables have the lowest correlation (r = 0.063)with a p value of 0.176. We can conclude that there is a weak positive relationship, which is not statistically significant at 0.05 significance level because the p value is greater than 0.05 level.

Stress from teaching and Coping ability variables have the highest correlation (r = 0.643) with a p value of 0.000. We can conclude that there is a moderate positive relationship, which is statistically significant at 0.05 significance level because the p value is less than 0.05 level.

Stress from research and Coping ability variables have correlation r = -0.254 with a p value of 0.000. We can conclude that there is a weak negative relationship, which is statistically significant at 0.05 significance level because the p value is less than 0.05 level.
