Evaluating -Values in a Correlation Test
To determine statistical significance using software output, the computed -value for the correlation is evaluated against a pre-set alpha level. If the -value is less than or equal to , the null hypothesis is rejected, indicating a significant relationship. Conversely, a -value greater than means the null hypothesis is retained due to insufficient evidence.
