Question

Hi, I don’t know how to solve? What would be the explanation? Can you please solve for me using step by step? Thank you! ??

The correlation between two variables A and B is .25 with a p- value of .08. What can we conclude?

Answer 1

Given that

correlation coefficient = 0.25

This is a weak positive correlation, which shows that there is a weak association between two variables.

p value corresponding to the correlation coefficient is 0.08

If we use 0.05 significance level, then we can see that the p value is greater than significance level of 0.05

So, result is insignificant as the p value is large as compared to 0.05 significance level

Therefore, we failed to reject the null hypothesis in this test.

We can conclude that there is insufficient evidence to say that there is a significant correlation between variables.
